Doing and happening are two important things in man's life. Doing is from man but happening is from god, from existence, from Nature. Man is doing several things with desires, ambitions, expectations, plans, goals, with strains and efforts. But happenings are taking place on its own accord, without any obedience to man, without any reason, mysteriously and unpredictably.
Your growth is a happening. Can you stop it? It is like flowering, happening on its own accord. Accident in your life is a happening. You cannot expect it but you should accept it. Similarly death is.
Sun rise is a happening. Enjoy it. Rain is a happening. You cannot expect it. You cannot desire for it. You cannot stop it rather. But you can enjoy it.
One of the sources of man's suffering is the difference between what he is doing with expectations and what really happens to him. Every moment something beautiful happens, but man could not enjoy it because he is engaged with some ' doings' or he worries that something happens against his expectations.
Drop down all your unnecessary doings which are electrified by your desires. Accept and enjoy what happens each moment. Enlightenment is also a happening that will happen on its own accord one day to you. Don't do anything for that. Don't expect it.
