DWQA QuestionsCategory: KarmaA viewer asks: “What is the divine perspective about “Luck” for good or bad? Could luck be synonymous with Karma itself or is it something all together?”
Nicola Staff asked 2 years ago
We do not like the word "luck" because it is commonly used to mean things happening for no particular reason, so it is like a lucky throw of the dice that produces a temporary benefit in a given instance but can't be relied upon due to the random nature of things. In actuality, as you know, karma is a huge driving force in everything that happens, directly or indirectly, in creating many, many, potentials both positive and negative that will influence and govern the nature of what transpires much more than people realize. So in effect, people do sense this, but attribute it to luck. Having good luck, in effect, when it is observed about a person is simply recognition of the fact that individual has all the earmarks of good karma allowing them to thrive and prosper, whereas someone who seems to be down on their luck or having bad luck all too often, is indeed exhibiting a quite significant negative karmic potential interacting with them again and again to bring about limitation, losses, and imbalances that will take a toll, limit the person’s prospects for the future and their happiness and success. But it is not luck by strict definition, as there is no such thing. What happens is either a random consequence of ever-changing energy flows, or a composite consequence of much that has been predetermined via karmic forces launched previously, by those involved, coming back around to them through the looping of time to bring a positive or negative influence to bear.
