Vedic Worldview

The Difference Between Luck and Good Fortune


Listen Later

 Thom's annual Australian tour is now underway and we'd love to invite you to participate.. We have a range of tour events scheduled, including free introductory talks and a learn to meditate course for those who are new to Vedic Meditation. 

If you've completed a qualified Vedic Meditation course, we invite you to join Tom for knowledge sessions, group meditations and a one-day retreat he has scheduled in Sydney.  

Thom is also offering a five-day four-night retreat in Gerringong, south of Sydney, as well as private mentoring sessions throughout the month.  

You can find out more about all of these offerings at thomknoles.com/sydney.  That's thomknoles.com/sydney.


The Oxford Dictionary defines luck as: success or failure apparently brought by chance rather than through one's own actions, or, chance considered as a force that causes good or bad things to happen.

Long-term listeners will straight away see that chance is incompatible with the Vedic worldview, hence luck isn’t likely to pass scrutiny either. 

So how then do we account for the fact that sometimes we seem lucky, or perhaps others seem lucky, and sometimes we don’t? 

In this episode Thom explains the Vedic perspective on luck and good fortune. The good news is, we have more control over it than most people think.

 

Episode Highlights:

[00:53] A Degree of Randomicity

[02:52] Well-Deserved, Self-Created Good Fortune

[05:09] There is Intelligence Involved

[06:13] Unconscious Design of Unhappiness

[08:04] Conscious Design of Happiness
