Problems can be swapped off as Blessings

"Every problem has a gift for you in its hands"

It was 2 years back that I had a major surgery for TB Spine and the doctors had then told that any further delay would have got me all paralysed, right from the waist below. After the surgery there happened to be a major change in all our lives and it seemed like Life was taking a different route, a major turn altogether. Even today when I think back about the situation, I strongly feel that the whole surgery incident was planned by The One above, just for those other major happenings of my life. And those happenings would ofcourse count today as among the great blessings of my life.

It might sound a lot philosophical when we try consoling someone telling 'its fine', 'its all for the better only'.. etc etc. But as days pass on and years move up, a retrospect on the same incident usually gives us a better view and then it we move them away towards the bunch of blessings and out from the problems bundle. May be that's what every philosopher means when they talk about the Divine Will and the Eagle's View. We, sometimes, need to have that higher perspect on situations to understand the gift behind those problems that we solve. But then, as humans we are, this is more easily said than done. Its like we are in the middle of the ocean and the only indulging thought would be on how to get out and how did we ever end up there.

It is only with the passage of Time that the transition is possible and then the same tearful incident would count among those great Life Transforming situations. I guess, Problems when Accelerated with Time turn out to be Blessings in Life!
