How can you enhance your luck? How can you counteract your ill luck?

It is important to understand the concept of luck and ill luck in human life. If a person is lucky, then he or she was born with a silver spoon in their mouth. That person doesn’t have to struggle to make a living. Children of wealthy business people, political leaders, celebrities in entertainment and sports all belong to this category. But such extremely lucky people are also extremely rare. How many people become celebrities in any given area of life? Very few. Most people have to work very, very hard to get even the most basic requirements needed. The situation is worse in 3rd world countries where resources are minimal thereby putting most of its people in eternal want and deficit.

Philanthropists, politicians and lawmakers across the world have been battling with minimal success to address the problem of poverty and lack of resources. It is true that the terms luck and ill luck are not respectable terms among intellectuals because of their metaphysical and religious connotations. I have often talked about poverty being a disease of the soul. If one’s soul espouses poverty thinking at the level of the body and mind, then that particular soul will actualize it in real life. Just as there is congenital illness there is also congenital poverty or prosperity. Congenital prosperity or poverty can only be explained in relation to one’s karma.
