Theme: Do not depend on LUCK

Short Story 14

What is LUCK?

 

Mulla Nasrudin is a Sufi saint. What made him distinct from other saints was his humour.

 

All men of knowledge have their own unique way to educate and rein-in peace and happiness in people around them. Typically, Sufi saints are known to use Music to express their thoughts to others.

 

One day, his disciples sought his explanation of the much talked about Luck, Fate. and Destiny.

 

These are mere Assumptions, replied Mulla Nasrudin.

 

The followers sought his explanation. Mulla Nasrudin replied: When you assume that a certain event is likely to go well, and if it dont - that you call it bad luck or ill-luck.

 

On the contrary, when one assume that certain events would go badly and if they dont - that you call it luck.

 

The assumptions are based on intuition or an idea based on insufficient information or Data and often a wishful-thought.

 

So there is every chance that it can be wrong.

 

With wrong assumptions, insufficient data you enter an act. If it fails you call it ill-fate and bad destiny.

Know this:

 

(1) We are born only to be on the run. Not to behave as an inanimate object.

 

(2) If one has sufficient resources, it does not mean you should not play an active role into the world.
