Karma and Luck – The Demise of Luck, Good or Bad – Part 1
By Sangeeta
Karma and Luck – is LUCK all in the MIND?
The following document about karma and luck is eye-opening and in another sense, mind-blowing. Taken to heart, it destroys the ancient concept (in the Western world) of good and bad luck.It came about when I decided to have a long book review written of a certain well-known book explaining Luck. I thought the book had merit and was the best of about a couple of dozen books I’d read about luck.
Devanāgari Aum or Om
I was shocked at the response from my writer when she indicated she totally disagreed with the author of the book, who had said “there are principles and sub-principles to follow for being lucky.” To her there was only karma and luck really didn’t enter the picture.
Under normal circumstances such an opinion wouldn’t sway me, but she reaps of academia, has multiple university degrees, and is a long-time accomplished writer. More-over, this is just the tip of the iceberg of her accomplishments.
She indicated “Luck is not mathematics that it will have principles, sub-principles, theories, and the likes.” So to refute that book (and a dozen more on the topic of luck) the following write-up is her response on Karma vs. Luck.
You need to read the entire document and may or may not agree with her take karma and Luck. Good reading. You may leave any relevant comments about her article. Comment moderation is in place to help prevent spam.
The Demise of Luck, Good or Bad – and the Rise of Karma Part I
By Sangeeta
There is nothing as such called ‘being lucky’ or ‘being unlucky’ – IT IS ALL IN THE MIND
Yes, it is true that there are many people who get in life or out of life what they want or wish for with a single snap of their fingers. Vice versa, there are people who want or wish for many things in life but they don’t somehow end up getting them – no matter how many times they snap their fingers; they keep trying and trying their level best wondering what is wrong with them or their luck.
What’s the reason behind this? A very simple one – KARMA – effects of good karma committed in the previous birth and/or effects of bad karma committed in the previous birth. OR shall I say, DESTINY? – the people who are so called ‘lucky’, get everything even if they don’t work hard or they don’t work for it at all – no doubt, it is the influence of good karma from their previous birth. Whereas, the people who are so called ‘unlucky’, get nothing or get to do nothing fruitful in life even if they slog or work hard till they fall – no doubt, it is the influence of bad karma from their previous birth.
Let’s take a small example:
-
-
Why so? Two people, from the same background, with the same financial problems, with the same work, with the same option to earn, lead two separate lives – one with the downs and one with the ups.
(1) Is it because Farmer A has made enemy of the buyer in the market who perhaps takes some kind of revenge on Farmer A by giving him less money?
(2) Is the buyer in the market a friend of Farmer B and pays him more?
(3) Why can’t Farmer A question the buyer the reason why he is given less money?
(4) Why can’t Farmer B help farmer A by talking the buyer and telling him on his face why he is partial towards Farmer A? Both of them have produced the same crops, the same quality, and the same quantity – then why Farmer A gets less?
