Jahan dana wahan khaana


It was this old adage that made conversation interesting with one of my family members few days back. How human being constantly toil to earn his livelihood but he is never sure of where his bread will lead him. In an amazing argument, that served as a great entry point to the labyrinth of how actions leads human to livelihood, my uncle concluded that captured criminals in jail has their “Dana” i.e. food placed over there that is why they commit crimes then they are caught and fed out there.
The crux of the matters is "Jahan dana wahan khana" where your livelihood/food resides you will automatically reach out there. In an optimistic mood he emphasized that we should be grateful to GOD for not scripting any form of illicit way for leading us to the livelihood.

Many millions inhabit the nether regions.
Many millions dwell in heaven and hell.
Many millions are born, live and die.
Many millions are reincarnated, over and over again.
Many millions eat while sitting at ease.
Many millions are exhausted by their labors.
Many millions are created wealthy.
Many millions are anxiously involved in Maya.
Wherever He wills, there He keeps us.

I feel anyone reading this will agree that content is pretty subjective.

I somehow disagree with this. Saying that you have no control over anything - I can't fancy that idea. I do believe in that one superpower though, no doubt there.

I think its more around what you do, something which is fondly called as Karma, he/she/it creates the suitable environment based around it.

I feel due credit should be given to the person for her rags to riches story or vice versa, yes ably supported by the almighty.
