The Difference Between Luck and Good Fortune

A quick update that early registration is now open for Thom's upcoming annual retreat in Sedona, Arizona, this Memorial Day weekend from May 22nd to 26.

This is Thom's first retreat in the United States since the epic Maha Kumbha Mela held earlier this year in Prayagraj, India, so Thom has many fascinating new stories to share. The Sedona Rounding Retreat is also your opportunity to gift yourself profound rest and industrial-strength meditation through the daily rounding program.

This is your chance to transcend uncertainty in the ever-changing world and celebrate spring surrounded by nature, supported by community, and immersed in wisdom with Thom.  Early registration discounts expire on March 17th, and you can find out more at thomknoles.com/sedona.

Jai Guru Deva.

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
