The Difference Between Luck and Good Fortune

Feb 13, 2023

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.
