Do you believe in rebirths? I guess I do. This is a good concept to believe when you die, as you will have something to look forward to. But this blog is not about rebirth. It's about believeing that if rebirths have occured and will occur, can I find out what profession suits me.
There are a number of movies in Hindi cinema which show that there's someone, and it has to be only ONE, who will make your most compatible partner, love interest, or wife/husband. Similarly, it's also a view which I hear often that there's a job or profession which is the ONE for you. The only issue if the above premise is true, is to JUST FIND what that profession IS. Simple. I dare say so. I have been in this inquiry of finding the best job according to my nature for a decade now. I have rejected a number of jobs till date and still haven't found THE job. Now I was contemplating that if rebirth funda also were true, maybe I could combine both and get my puzzle solved. How? Let's see.
I must have had many rebirths till now. I am sure I must not have been as confused about selection of a job in this birth in at least some of my previous births. In those births, I must have found out MY profession and developed quite an expertise in it. So it means somewhere in my soul I carry those skills. If only I could find that profession and use those skills in my present birth, I would be highly successful and greatly contented with my life. With this in mind, let me think what could I have been.
Let's go back 500 years. Let's restrict our search to India, although it's probably that 500 years back I could have been living in any country of the world. At that time, mughlas were ruling India. So who could I be - a soldier in the army, a shopkeeper(bania selling oils, or groceries), watchguard, a general, farmer, servant doing all the washing, some saint in the jungle, some artist(a painter or sculptor perhaps), or something else. I am still iterating through these choices and seeing where I could have fit in:). Maybe I should look back 1000 years, or maybe 1500 years. The search is still continuing, I am still thinking. Meanwhile, if you know me and can see me in any of the roles above or any else, do let me know. It's possible you find my perfect job(outsourcing man!).
