The Law of Attraction

Hi! Kaafi time se likhna tha…had Lots of things in my mind. Everytime I thought I will write…but I didn’t :) Anyways…

Sometime back a movie called ‘The Secret’ was screened in our office. I won’t be talking about the movie here. Whoever wants to read can Google it. There was one thing that it said which I later found in 2-3 Bollywood movies. It said that if you really wish something, the entire world will help you in getting it. The week after that I was watching Om Shanti Om and there is a famous dialogue in the movie that said – ‘Itni shiddat se maine tumhe paane ki koshish ki hai, ki har zarre ne mujhe tumse milane ki saazish ki hai....kehte hai agar kisi cheez ko dil se chaaho toh poori kaynaat tumhein usse milane ki koshish mein lag jaati hai.’ And last week I saw Iqbal where N Shah was telling Shreyas – ‘Agar tumhe apne sapne pe bharosa hai to saari duniya tumhe woh poora karne mein madad karegi’. So in short, secret secret nahi raha lagta hai :)

Another thing that the movie talked about was the law of attraction. It said that you will attract anything that you strongly think about. It happened with me today. I lost my scooter around 3 months back. And since the past two months, I have been driving the bike that a friend of mine has given me (she thinks I will be able to take care of it!). It is an 11 year old Hero Honda Splendor and has an old number plate with a black plate and white fonts. The new rule says that you should be having a white plate with black fonts. I knew I had to get it changed but I was delaying it. So today when I went out, the thought came to my mind that I neither have the PUC certificate, nor I have the new number. And so I should be meeting the pandu soon. And guess what, a pandu caught me today. I had to pay a Rs. 100 fine. He started at 150 but then seeing no response on my face, he settled for 100 :)

Personally, I don’t believe in these things. But you can start believing them if you think these incidents were convincing enough :D

Actually, I think Paulo Coehlo was the first one to start that quote: "When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."
Okay, now I sound really geeky. But I just had to blurt that out because it annoys me every time Shahrukh runs away taking credit for that quote, like he invented it in his head or something. Oh, and I do like Shahrukh. Now I'm just rambling. Nice blog, though. :)

I think vagabond is right - the lines in om shanti om are verbatim or very close to the lines in the alchemist. Personally I hated the book even though it is based on the principles of the secret because it sounded so illogical. Not that the secret sounds too logical but still it is a little more digestible.

I am also not a believer in the secret but I think it does work. A couple of incidents have happened to me where I end up thinking 'wow did this happen because I kept wanting it to'. The down side of the secret though is that they say everything that is happening negatively to you also is your own doing...

Well I can't really debate it cause I don't know better but my instinct is not to believe.
