CHAPTER 7: LUCK, KARMA…..A CYCLE OF CAUSE AND

EFFECT

We all have a lucky charm…a pendant, a pen, an exam board, a favorite set of clothing, a particular color -very few can deny this fact. We take them to our important exam, our important meetings where things of importance occur and also have it with us when we feel we need an extra push, beyond what is in our hand. How often we scream in sheer excitement when we win a lucky draw or an unexpected lottery!!! What good luck? Isn’t it? Our happiness overflows when we meet such situations when we get something out of the blue and unexpected, and something of real good worth. It could be winning a trip abroad… winning a new product for home, and so on. How exactly do we describe luck? The dictionary meaning terms it as, “any success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one’s effort or own actions.” For example in a match when the first throw results in a basket, everyone applauds “what good luck”. Now whether it was sheer skill or was it chance it is debatable! Some people always consider themselves lucky and some people feel they always have a run of bad luck. Why is it like that? Does something called luck, fate or karma really exist?

On the other hand let us consider this; our work is not shaping up as we would expect it to with all hard work we are putting in. Or suddenly one day you are faced with a vacation notice of your apartment, the money you had saved and put in shares looses value and you make a loss…..a series of such misfortunes start piling up. The moment anything bad happens we rush to find reasons on which we could put the blame on. We all somehow strive to prove that we are not at fault. Then who is it that we can play the blame game with? And immediately it comes out of your own mind that you are a victim of fate or this was destined, it’s all in His hands. What are we to do? Sometimes life situations overcome you with their sheer unexpectedness and sudden life changing pattern that you are left wondering, what actually happened? And you conveniently put it fate.

We expect life to run in a certain manner, sometimes it does and it makes us happy. Yet again sometimes just does not go according to our wishes and it makes us all stressed. Life does not conform to our expectations always. Things do not always happen as per our convenience and comfort, and that’s how life is supposed to be! And yet we end up asking ourselves, why me? Why not someone else? Who actually controls our destiny? Who is in charge? Does it not surprise us that if all was actually in His hands the world today would have been a perfect place for all of us to live? It may have had the best of circumstances we could have ever imagined.
