When Fate Decides

Fate decides what has to be given to whom. If you are destined to be rich, then, even if you are stranded on the pavement, fortune will show your way. Else, how much ever you try, fortune will skip you.

‘Arathaaru idhuvena venda sivigai porutthanodu oorndhaan idai’. You may have performed charity in some earlier birth of yours, and so you are wealthy in this birth. A person who travels in a palanquin is enjoying the consequences of his good deeds of the past. This is a message to the persons who are bearing him on their shoulders that they need to refine themselves.

Failing to understand that what one enjoys is the result of one’s good deeds, persons assume that they are singled out for happy lives. As long as it is smooth sailing, they glorify God to the skies; when they encounter a trivial problem, they immediately denounce God.

What you sow, you reap. That is why our wise elders declared, ‘Padhavi poorva punyanam, likhyathe janma patrika’. The horoscope reveals how much of good you have accumulated from your previous births.

He, who is able to contain all the qualities and yet, is beyond quality, is the Pooranathuvan. He must know everything; else He cannot become a Gnaani.
