Karma OR Luck - Which has a greater impact on the destiny of Human Beings? (Part-1)

Karma, Luck and Destiny

These three words have shaped the past, present and future of the mankind. And will continue to do so. However, it is important to understand each of these words distinctly and their inherent correlation. As, each word is quite vast in its nature, we will discuss each of these words in different posts and then conclude in the last post.

Karma

Simply put, Karma is action. As Lord Krishna says that each human being is bound to perform some action whether he/she likes it or not OR whether the Karma is under his control or not. For example, your senses, that is, eyes, nose, skin, tongue and ears will perform their duties. If a person walks in a park, he will naturally smell the fragrance of the flowers and he cannot stop his nose from smelling. Similarly, each human being is bound to do Karmas and his senses are his horses which need to be regulated according to the wishes of his Soul.

Considering the practicality of the matter as on today, it is indeed quite difficult to regulate our senses and we often overdo certain things to have pleasure over a long period of time. Anyhow, this is a completely different subject and I would not like to delve deeper into it in this post.

So coming back to the topic, our senses are the base which define each and every action of our lives. As, we have to bear fruits of our past actions, similarly our present actions will give us the fruits in the future. So, we can say that our present actions define our future path. Also, human beings perform a lot of Karmas whose fruits are not received in the same lifetime, which are then carried to the next life and then the next and then the .... (till infinity unless you continuously evolve and eventually achieve Moksha).

Therefore in every sense, our present Karmas are the building blocks of our lives and our senses are the roots of our Karmas. If we use our senses in a regulated manner to perform good karmas with pure intention, then we are bound to bear its positive fruits (irrespective of the lifetime). As Lord Krishna said that

we shouldn't worry too much about the results; just focusing on our senses and using them positively will take us to the right direction.

Dr Swamy's three step formula to make India a VishwaGuru again

BJP leader and eminent economist, Dr Subramanian Swamy, invited as a Chief Speaker at a recent webinar of TiE on "Making India Succeed", spoke at length on India's existing challenges and viable solutions to address these challenges. However, Dr Swamy categorically focused on three major areas, which will help to improve India's world status and restore the country's past glory. These are explained below: Improve the state of Economy Abolish income tax to boost consumption and savings among households. Bring down interest rates on business loans up to the level of 6% p.a for MSMEs. Increase interest rate on FDs to 9% per annum to facilitate higher savings from households. Build roads to connect all villages with nearby towns. This will improve connectivity, reduce unemployment, increase purchasing power and spur demand. Social Revolution Indians must start believing in themselves as belonging to the same ancestral tree and identify themselves as prod...

Pushpendra Kulshrestha - A Congi Mole within BJP?

Lets say that I am a nobody to comment on Pushpendra Kulshrestha (PK), in the same manner, PK has ZERO credibility (he is nobody) to comment on Dr Swamy. PK's track record suggests that he is fair weather friend of current government. PK could very well be a Congi mole disguised as a Hindutva speaker. And I am truly flabbergasted to see the responses of Hindus. Apart from making videos and giving speeches on Public events, what is PK's contribution towards Hindutva? Yes we do need warriors to speak in favor of Hindutva, however, it doesn't mean that we will accept anyone or everyone. Unfortunately, now days its like a popularity contest because anyone who speaks at a superficial level manages to get MAX eyeballs. Due to emergence of these fake warriors, people have lost sight of the real on ground fighters. Just because a public speaker comes across as a Hindutva well-wisher, he may not necessarily be a genuine well-wisher. However, these speakers, fo...

Withdraw minority specific reservations at Minority institutions, funded by tax payers money, to bring parity in education system

Minority institutions across India receive grants from government and channelize a large percentage of these funds for the welfare and benefits of minorities such as Christians, Muslims, Jains, Parasis etc. Such inconsistencies rip-off the right of hard-working and meritorious hindu students to receive benefits of better education from these institutes. Despite having a meritorious record, majority Hindu students are left out from these educational institutions only because of their religious background. With 50% of the seats reserved for minorities, general category Hindu students have to fight for remaining seats. This is the prevalent trend among so called prestigious minority colleges such as St Stephens, St Xaviers, Jesus & Mary College, Loyola College etc. In a recent tweet, Dr Swamy highlighted St Stephens case to prove the disparities in the system. The tweet calls for a re-look at the existing education system with the purpose of introducing further reforms. ...
