The Invisible Hand
Contrary to the immediate association of the phenomenal theory of the economist Adam Smith, this phrase can be linked to a much omnipresent and deeper connotation in everyday life.
Through innumerable experiences triggering the hypothesizing and concretization of this theory, I firmly believe that whenever it is required, a higher power intervenes. Just like an accomplished parent providing the impetus and opportunity of freedom and related exploration to the child, but coming to the immediate rescue of the child in the time of need, designing his flights of adventure as a long extension of the umbilical chord eternally connected to the source, this higher power also designs the course of multi-faceted development of the child intervening directly or indirectly when required.
Thus, we pick up a particular book and open just the page that has the perfect answer to the dilemma we had been struggling with, or as we walk down the road wondering what decision to take a car bumper sticker will spell out exactly what we inherently know but need to hear explicitly, or when we are not even aware of our latent apprehension the person next to us in the bus would casually say something that would resolve the anxiety in its embryonic stage. When we are cold we are provided with friends showering warmth of love, when we are too comfortable we are thrown in the middle of discomfort to shake us out of the lethargy triggered wasted potential, when we need to connect we are lead to individuals who motivate us to connect within, when we are too harsh on ourselves we are introduced to delays that force us to stop and use that time to reflect and when the ego starts taking over a cushioned failure brings us back to our true being. All this is too well-timed to be coincidental.
Unfortunately most of us operate at too thick an awareness level to receive the directions. Dismissal, ignorance or plain stubbornness to not acknowledge the works of the invisible hand has the sole outcome of a self-induced delay in understanding what we are crafted to know. So all will be provided with similar inputs for breaking out of the shell of ignorance and making an honest attempt to aggregate the level of awareness but some of us do it early and easily while some take huge effort and time to understand the source.
Every time I open a new page to write on my blog, I feel further amused by the inspiration and the words that flow out naturally – sometimes I can trace the source of my writing back to an external trigger but most of the times after I finish converting the effortless flow of ideas into words I sit back and admire the handiwork of the invisible hand.
