Vedic Worldview

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 Useful Linksinfo@thomknoles.com  https://thomknoles.com/https://www.instagram.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.facebook.com/thethomknoleshttps://www.youtube.com/c/thomknoleshttps://thomknoles.com/ask-thom-anything/

Show Notes

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.

I'm a long-term Vedic meditator, learning from Thom Knoles in the early 1990s. Having put my skills to work as a business consultant and mentor since 1999, I'm currently in training to become a Vedic Meditation Initiator myself. Once qualified I'll combine the two passions, showing business owners and professionals how to enhance their professional and personal performance with Vedic Meditation being a key component.
