LUCK IS NOTHING BUT A RESULT OF OUR GOOD DEEDS COMING BACK TO US

The importance of good karma (actions) is something I learned from an ordinary peasant, who, by chance, had dropped by my office one day looking for the office of a courier company that he had been searching for days. He had to collect a docket (from there) that his son had sent for him.

Since the courier company doesn’t extend its services to the village the peasant lives in, he had been asked to visit their office if he wanted to collect his docket. Now, he had little knowledge of the area, and with a poor sense of direction, he seemed completely helpless about where to go.

After I explained how he should get there, he said with gratitude, “you have rendered a great help to me. I had tried asking so many people earlier, but no one was even ready to listen to me. It was my good luck that brought me to your office.” And at one point he asked me, “Do you know what is good or bad luck?”

“Luck, is like a bank. In the bank, we deposit money for our bad times. So treat life as a bank where our good or bad karma (actions) are deposited. When we help others selflessly, it all deposits somewhere in the universe. These deposited actions follow us throughout our life. And in times of a crisis, it is that treasure of good deeds that will help us. If our negative actions outnumber the positive ones, then there will be negativity in the future.” He expressed his thought and walked out of my office, but left a lasting impression on me.
