Everything moves along its trajectory. The Galaxy, solar system, earth, moon, and all the other satellites have their tracks respectively; trains, cars, atoms, electrons, all kinds of rays, and electromagnetic waves have theirs respectively.
Clouds appear to float in the sky freely with the air currents, but they also follow their own moving tracks. Meteorologists can predict the weather several weeks in advance because they know the laws of the clouds’ floating tracks. If clouds did not follow their own moving tracks, then the meteorologists would be unable to forecast the weather. Also, if they did not have their own moving tracks, then they would always be appearing over deserts, rain would fall there, and those deserts would be forests and jungles.
LIFE has trajectories, too. Different LIFE forms are different from each other with respect to life spans, survival needs, body sizes, internal and external characteristics, and food requirements, because every LIFE form has its own trajectory.
People have their LIFE trajectories, too. Each time someone looks back at their past, they will see their LIFE trajectory. People have found that “Man proposes, God disposes” and “Man manages smalls things; big events are in the hands of the Greatest Creator” long ago. Why? Because each person has their own LIFE trajectory.
Whether a person was born male or female, black or white, noble or humble, royal or common, all has been determined by their LIFE trajectory; even their times of their birth and death have been determined by it as well.
有许多人不相信有生命的轨迹，那么，你就试试，看会不会把你碰得头破血流。
If you do not believe in the existence of LIFE trajectories, then try to see how badly you will be battered.
Can you become a president, a scientist, a singer, or a robber? Can you become a billionaire through hard work? Can you have three spouses? Can you be as handsome and elegant as 007? Can you be another Jet Li or Madonna?
能？你试试吧！不能？为什么？
If you think you can, then please try, but if you cannot, then ask yourself why not.
Many people try to learn how to become as famous as celebrities by reading their biographies; others expect to become successful after reading books such as “The Complete Works of Knowledge”. Some idolize and envy those stars and vow silently to become like them, some want to follow the examples of people who have earned fortunes overnight, and some cannot accept how their friends and classmates get promotions while they do not, but no matter how intensely one thinks or learns, they will never be the same as anyone else. Why? Because everyone has their own LIFE trajectory.
不信？你试试吧！
If you do not believe me, just try it!
今天的状态已经由昨天的努力决定，今天的努力只是为了明天。
Present situations have been determined by yesterday’s effort and today’s efforts are just for tomorrow.
今世的道路已经由前世的因缘决定，今世的努力只是为了来世。
Your current trajectory had been determined by the karma from your previous life, and your efforts during this lifetime are just for your future one.
嫉妒有什么用？不满有什么用？想不通又有什么用？
So, what good lies in jealousy, dissatisfaction, or disconcerting?
智慧的人生应该这样度过，“随缘而化，随机而做，随遇而安，随性而动。”
A wise life should proceed thusly: “take things as they are, associate with others by following predestined relations, act in accordance with your nature, and take advantage of opportunities as they arise”.
生命是有轨迹的，那么，生命的轨迹由谁设计，由谁制订？
LIFE has its trajectory, but who designs and formulates the trajectories of LIFE?
不是上帝！不是神仙！不是帝王！不是父母！不是他人！而是我们自己。
It is NOT the Greatest Creator! Not Deity Celestial Beings! Not the emperors! Not our parents! Not any one but ourselves!
为了弄清楚这个道理，我们先来看看因果报应。
In order to understand it, let us talk about karma.
什么是因果报应？
What is Karma?
维护宇宙正负能量之和为零的法则叫因果报应。
To maintain the sum of positive and negative energy in the universe as zero is called Karma. The first law of thermodynamics as written by the nineteenth century German Physicist, Rudolph Clausius maintains that the zero sum of positive and negative energy in a closed system always remains zero. Expanded to the entire universe, it is what we call Karma.
浅显点讲，能量守恒定律就叫因果报应。
In simple words, the law of the conservation of energy is Karma.
通俗点讲，撒什么种子开什么花叫因果报应。
A popular phrase, “As we sow, so shall we reap” means Karma.
It is impossible to describe the mechanism of Karma in detail without possessing the wisdom of the Greatest Creator, so I will list several well-known examples to show you whether or not there is Karma:
Iraqi President Saddam Hussein was ousted and arrested by American and British governments. Might there have been any connection between this event and his invasion and occupation of Kuwait? If we regard this event as a result, then can we say that his incursion into Kuwait was the cause? Surely it is not the only one, but if the cause of the invasion of Kuwait had not happened, then would the effect have not taken place?
2. Is there any connection between the toppling of New York’s World Trade Center in the United States and the hard-line foreign affairs policy of its government? If the bombing could be seen as an effect, then can the United States’s hard-line policy be seen as the cause? Of course it was not the only cause.
3.为什么希特勒非要置以色列人于死地？为什么日本要侵略中国？为什么有十字军东征？难道没有原因吗？
3. Why did Hitler kill so many Jews? Why did the Japanese invade China? Why did the Crusades happen? Were there no causes for these?
