Which is More Powerful, Karma or Destiny?

Action (Karma) and Destiny is a profound subject that makes everybody curious. Everyone wants to know, what is more important, Karma or destiny. In the world, both are at play in the day-to-day life of mankind.

Parents provide their two children with equal education, privileges and distribute wealth equally among them but even then, one may flourish while the other may fail in life. Two siblings may have different destinies. Rain from the sky is the same but the yield may be different. 

So, by seeing this, it can be said that destiny has a big part to play in the larger scheme of things. But at the same time, destiny does not work if people are lazy and do not use their intelligence. In such cases, there will be no progress. 

Action vs Destiny:

Who is mightier action or destiny?

There goes a story that there was once a fight between the Action and Destiny citing various examples of their qualities. In the end, they went to Lord Shiva to decide who is greater of the two and he sends both to a cave. 

But at night, both got scared and set aside their differences. Action made an effort to get something to drink and eat. At this point, he felt sorry for Destiny and shared with it too. After feeling satisfied they both prayed to the Lord to get them out of the cave. 

When they managed to come out, they started fighting again.  Action said, if I had not made any effort, you would not have gotten anything to eat and drink. And Destiny argued that the pity that arose within you is my destiny and came to my rescue. 

Now Goddess Parvati intervened and explained that Destiny is nothing but Action. Your past actions are your destiny today and your action of today is creating your destiny of tomorrow. Thus, Action and Destiny are correlated.

Goddess Parvati said again, your hands are called ‘Kar’ and the world is ‘Karmabhoomi’ (the Land of Action). So, you are here to perform and with righteous action, anyone can create a stellar destiny for himself.

Effort is Indispensable

If you do not make any efforts, then you will never achieve anything in life and thus it is said- depend not on the lines of destiny in your hands even those without hands have a destiny.

Thus, be hard-working. Your luck will bring good fortune in your life but, at the same time, if it is not meant to be yours then it shall not stay with you for long. Good luck will put you in a favourable situation and a little effort will bring great results. 

Remember the rock of misfortune can be removed only by cutting through using the chisel of karma. Thus, everyone must perform actions dutifully.

Trust the power of your hands more than the lines on them.  With your action, you can transform misfortune into good fortune and live a prosperous and happy life. To create your own destiny you need action, prayers, virtue, and blessings of God. So, act and be the architect of your own destiny.
