Most of Indians might have read the panchatantra stories in the childhood, one such story am sharing here.
Once upon a time, there lived a sage.
The sage used to go to the river everyday to pray. One day, while the
sage was praying in the river, an eagle flying above him dropped a mouse
that it had caught as prey. When the sage opened his eyes, he found the
little mouse in his hands. He took the mouse home and showed it to his
wife. Since the sage and his wife did not have any children, they
decided to keep the mouse as a child. The sage, with his extraordinary
powers, changed the little she-mouse into a pretty girl child. The sage
and his wife brought up the girl like their own daughter.
When the girl grew up into a beautiful young lady, the sage decided that it was time to get her married. He
thought that the Sun God would be a suitable match for his daughter. So,
the sage prayed to the Sun God and asked him to marry his daughter. But
the Sun God said, “I am sorry,e reduced to ashes.” The
sage was disappointed. He asked the Sun God to suggest another groom for
his daughter. The Sun God replied that the Lord of the Clouds would be a
suitable match for the sage’s daughter because a cloud can easily stop
the sun’s light and can reduce its heat.
So, the sage prayed to the Lord of the Clouds and asked him to marry the girl. But the girl rejected the Lord of the Clouds saying that she did not want to
marry someone as dark as him and also that she was scared of the thunder
that he produced. Again, the sage was upset and asked the Lord of the
Clouds to suggest a groom for his daughter. The Lord of the clouds said,
“You should get your daughter married to the Lord of the Wind as he can
easily blow me away.”
The sage then prayed to the Lord of the Wind to appear and asked him
to marry his daughter. But the daughter rejected him too, saying, “Oh
Father, I cannot marry someone as feeble as him. And he doesn’t stay in
one place—he is always moving about.” Dejected, the sage asked the Lord
of the Wind for advice. The Lord of the Wind suggested that the Lord of
the Mountain would be a suitable groom for the sage’s daughter since he
could stop the wind easily.
So, the sage went to the Lord of the Mountain and requested him to
get married to his daughter. But, the daughter did not want to accept
him as her groom. She said, “He is so cold-hearted. Please, father,
can’t you find someone softer?” Now, the sage did not know whom to go
to. He could not think of any more suitable grooms for his daughter. He
requested the Lord of the Mountain to suggest a groom. The Lord of the
Mountain said, “A mouse will be a suitable match for your daughter
because he is soft, but he can still make holes in a mountain easily.”
This
time, the sage’s daughter was happy
with the match. “I would like to marry a mouse very much, Father,” she
said. The sage was happy and said, “That’s destiny, my child! You began
your life as a mouse and you were destined to marry a mouse.” He turned
the girl back into a mouse. She was married to a nice, suitable mouse
and they lived happily ever after.
Most of the people tell the morale as - Destiny can't be changed.
My conclusion to this story : The core thinking (संस्कार)of any individual never changes, even if we try to transform by various tactical and strategical ways it wont, our saints and scriptures suggest that until and unless you resolve those samskaras been formed over period of so many million birth take place over that pure consciousness it wont resolve, the web of past karmas would continue to dominate your life and lead to a pattern of cycle or (भवसागर).संस्कार >विचार >कर्म
और कर्म >फल >संस्कार >विचार।
should we interfere with this pattern?

Parable of tares - Mathew 13
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25 but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Farmer went to field was all right, seed was also alright,but when disciple was not watchful and cautious, his enemy came, he was allured the mind,by the tempting by the negative power, and what did he do, he sowed tares among the wheat. It means mind started tempting him, Mind also become active, because Satan does not want soul escape from clutches of birth and dearth(pattern) to eave his domain and go back to heavenly Father . so Satan also took opportunity to sow seed among the good seed in the Fertile ground.
Naturally when other disciples saw this tares going amongst the wheat, They take pity on that disciple, He was loving, so good, so faithful , And yet he has become victim of weakness and cannot leave the sensual pleasures.(satan), they ask from where these tares came, from where these disturbance came, He said Enemy has done this, the mind has done this it become active and has induced him to indulge into sensual pleasures.Than disciples seek his permission to explain to him that bad diciple whose mind deviated, whose mind got immersed into sensual pleasures, to reinstate meditation to him But than Jesus said " NO don't do that, If you try to uproot the weeds from the field, you are also likely to shake or uproot the real crop, because they are both growing together, you may offend him, he may give up the goodness which was sown in him also get shake.
he says let him continue what he is doing, At the time of harvest, all the weeds which have been sown in the field will be gathered first. They will picked out one by one burned.. let them grow together, at the time of death, I will help to burn all the sins which he has committed, whatever is in the balance will be to his credit.
Thus here master explains that we shouldn't interfere the pattern, master himself will take care.
Another e.g is in Shiva purana when parvati and shiva on an excursion found a injured snake, parvati felt deep compassion and show mercy on that snake, treat to make it all right, snake was filled with gratitude so it started to live with them, where ever they go snake also followed, but as it was snake it crawls it used to take lots of time to travel, hence parvati requested shiva to change this poor creature into some bird a crow so that it can fly in the sky freely, but shiva dis agreed saying it is against nature principle, but in front of shakti, he couldn't do anything he agreed this snake converted into crow now, it now fly much better than snake, but after some time parvati saw the poor creature cant fly enough high , its wings also small, and the crow as full of love and bhakti towards parvati, so she again requested to change it into Hamsa, highest elite bird so that it can follow them as family member , now this Hamsa become part of the family they travel long distances, high altitudes they were happy, but Hamsa was not happy, as it was alone, shiva -parvati were having good time but hamsa was alone, again parvati shown mercy and requested to Shiva to get married this hamsa to hamsini, but Shiva got disturbed with her request as he know the consequences but parvati pleaded and was stubborn to make her married , shiva explain that this will bring distruction understand, but she didn't paid ear to his words and make him finally agree to marry to beautiful hamsini. Now they got married, parvati was very happy , and her pet snake turned crow turned hamsa was also happy, when there were alone and they mated at the touch of this snake turned hamsa's poison entered into hamsini and immediately died.
This parable also tells us that the core of any individual never changes, it remains same always, hence it is not our jurisdiction to interfere with it, it is the Master or Satguru (who is directly be one with Holy Ghost) can only resolved those samskaras not bonded humans. what is in our hand is to pray and do Good conduct, that is only we can do, that is only choice we have.(purusharth)
There fore accept who you are , where you are, what you are, and exercise(practice) each day the things Heavenly God permitted to do, and discard all those which are not permitted, don't interfere in Nature, don't try to change other people, or their samskars , let do our work and pray, every one should know their own truth.Each and every has to return to supreme reality one day, but the ways do we take would certainly differnt as we did the deeds in different way. Lets leave to the God do his own work and in his ways, what is my swadharma (individual Duty) , I should always remember and execute it.
