What a wonderful post
We all and the various incidents which occur in our lives are just a medium for what is already penned in our destinies...

Beautiful Meena. Sometimes life presents to us a wonderful opportunity to be a Madhyam for something really profound. I mean the destiny happens through you. Knowledgeable people understand it and considers themselves to be blessed to be given such an oppourtunity. Just like Vishwamitra feels. A gratitude that destiny has choosen him to bring together Hari and Lakshmi in their earthly incarnation. Same should be with us. If something good happens through us, we have to feel blessed that destiny gave us that oppourtunity. We should never be egoistic and tell I made all this happen. No we don't because as rightly said by Meena we are only Madhyam.

hi, true that for every happening in this world ahs a medium or shall we say Madhyam. But normally no one bothers to recognize the Madhya when things go well and the madhyam will get the majority of the blame if things go wrong. Say like if a student pass his exams with high scores, no on will praise the teacher or the mother who put their 100% to make sure the student study rigorously and managing their time well but if the results are bad, the first ones go get all the blame are the mothers and then the teacher for their inefficiency in performing their duty. If the student gets high score, they say its his hard work and if he fails the teacher didn't teach well or mother didn't give enough attention towards the child, so this result. The child is not at fault but only the teacher & mother.

If a person achieves great heights, people price him form his morals, if the same person becomes a rogue, his father will be blamed for his upbringing. If a cricket team wins, the bowler & the batsman who scored more will be praised where as if it loses, team captain & the coach will be blamed as they are medium who were expected to do wonders for the team

We always should consider the teachers effort especially of her teachers from our primary schools, who groom us to learn properly, our parents who put away their time and energy to make us good citizens and self sufficient, our neighbors who supported us by teaching some games, the small vendors who taught us the value of money and value for money etc.

For example, Indra was the Medium for Ahilya's curse at the same time he was the medium for showcasing Ram's highness to the world for releasing Ahilya from the curse. But we blame Indra for the curse but never even consider himas medium for Ram's action. We blame Rishi Gautham for cursing his wife Ahilya but don't even remember he wa sthe one who gave an antidote to the curse by saying a Raghuvanshi will clear her curse and remove her sin. He was the reason for Ahilya seeing Lord Vishnu while he didn't had that opportunity for himself.

Beautiful post and very well written. Yes, I agree about madhyam specially success and failure and the character of a person. When a child gets high marks in his exam noone comes and gives the credit to the teacher and the mother but the moment he/she gets low marks the teacher and mother are blamed. And, if a child is characterless then again it's the mother who didn't give attention to him/her but if he/she is well behaved then the credit is solely given to the child.

Mother & teachers play an important role in developing a child's life. They are generally so selfless, that they give credit to child's efforts to encourage him, when he/ she is successful.

Yes, I agree. But, don't do they need a little bit of acknowledgement?
