Can some people get things without endeavoring?
Just get all material things in this life without any effort on their part. Yes, that is definitely possible. Say, for example, even in today's world, say, in some countries or welfare states, you know, say the whole health is the responsibility of the state.
So, if anybody falls sick, and the bill just goes directly from the doctor to the government. So, they do not have to pay anything at all. There are a few countries like that.
So, now, we may say, you know, if I have a health crisis, I have so much anxiety, because how will I manage the finances, they do not have that anxiety. Yes, if they are born in that country at that particular time, it is we understand that is by destiny. And because of that, they do not have to worry about that at all.
So, destiny can create certain situations in which we do not have to worry about anything at all. So, the main point I was making is, yes, there can be facility, there can be areas where some people are exceptionally endowed in things, and they may not have to endeavor at all. But rather than worrying about or getting obsessed with why there are such things, we can focus on what our strengths are and try to develop them.
And the important thing is that, you know, destiny determines what we have. Whereas, our happiness depends on what we do with what we have. So, some people may have a lot of wealth, but whether that wealth will necessarily make them happy, that is questionable.
And quite often, when people get wealth without really endeavoring, they do not value it much, and then they misuse it or just waste it. And despite their wealth, they are not happy. So, our happiness does not depend so much on what we have, it depends on what we do with what we have.
And in that sense, our happiness is very much something which we can shape by our choices. So, thank you very much. Thank you.
This is a question that children generally ask. They are very confused when Krishna comes in pictures. So, I just wanted to thank you.
So, one last question, we will continue. If you have any more questions, we can continue tomorrow also. But one last question.
Ramji, you told in the last that intelligence is knowing what you can change. And in case of Gautam, when he was excited, he knew that he could change the situation, that because of beauty, he accepted the situation as a destiny and moved ahead. But generally, in our lives, we see it's…
