Here’s a question I received yesterday and my response to it.

Ashwita, what’s your take on luck? Does this relate to things outside of our control or is it based on our inner alignment and what we ‘invite’ ???

Interesting you ask this question because I had a fascinating discussion with a friend yesterday who went to a Nadi astrologer. So this was his finding. He said when we go to regular astrologers, they see where we are headed, and suggest us remedies. The nadi astrology takes done remedies into consideration and tells us the final result.

I think a visit to a nadi astrologer is usually great proof for many people just how much of life is totally scripted, because people I know have found predictions to be coming true even a decade later. I’ve never been to one, but things that were told to my parents about me came true a decade later, and no astrologer we visited could even predict those incidents. However I do know someone who was told he’d have a great life, he then thought wow I have a great life ahead of me and did nothing. His life still sucks and nothing came true.

So basically. I don’t believe we have free will to make our lives any better – if we live in the flow, our life automatically floats up to the best case scenario that was originally designed. However, we do have all the free will we need to make our lives far more miserable.

Luck is nothing but oneness with the universe in a particular moment. When we are in alignment, we function like the whole universe is one machine, and we’re aware of something much, much larger than us at play, and things falling into place which we could never have facilitated by ourselves. Because that is actually the default state of existence. But we get out of sync, then we’re small and limited, and being in the flow is considered a ‘spiritual’ thing to do
