The Demise of Luck, Good or Bad – and the Rise of Karma Part II
Devanāgari Aum or Om
Karma and Luck from Part I
Well, many people will say that Farmer A is ‘unlucky’ or ‘luck does not favor him’ whereas, Farmer B is ‘lucky’ or ‘luck favors him’.
Is it really luck? No, I would say it is ‘destiny’. Farmer A is destined to get less money than his expectations in spite of his hard labor; whereas, Farmer B is destined to get more money than what he has expected.
Well, now some people will say that Farmer B is ‘lucky’ or he is reaping the fruits of ‘good destiny’.
Why is it so? Luck is nothing but your destiny, your karma.
Let’s study three cases:
Case I
People who live in past, you will find that they are always in the habit of cribbing and crying throughout life why this did not happen? Why that did not happen? – Their mind is full of why, where, when, what, who, whose. They are destined to do so.
Case II
People who live in future or for future, have they actually seen or can they actually anticipate what future is? What future has in store for them? No… still they hold on to their future. Why? Because they are destined to do so.
Case III
People who live in the present or for the present are the ones who have taken lessons from the past but have not allowed the past to affect their present. They don’t know about their future and are not worried about it. Why? Because they are destined to do so.
So, what are these three cases leading to? Nowhere except for one straight path – KARMA. Considering karma and luck, luck is now out of the picture.
(1) People belonging to Case I have done something wrong in their previous birth – some bad karma – because of which they are not able to let go or come out of their past in this birth. Living in the past
(2) People belonging to Case II have done something wrong in their previous birth – some bad karma – because of which they are not able to come out their future in this birth and face the present. Living in the future
(3) People belonging to Case III have done something good in their previous birth – some good karma – because of which they belong to the present in this life and enjoy both ups and downs in life, meaning these people take everything in their stride. Living in the present
What would you call these cases of karma and luck? Luck or Karma?
