In China, three factors are considered for prediction of future.

According to Chinese belief the heaven, the earth and the man are

the three resonating factors of energy, where the energy of one factor

is constantly changed and produced in the other factor. These three

are believed to have three types of lucks. This luck is responsible
64

for the development of an individual. One of these factors can never

Not only these factors but other situation like parents, caste,

(2) HUMAN LUCK

A man works all his life. He achieves his objectives only through

his work. And accordingly he has a status in the society. Every

E

individual sets his aims and objectives and for this he works according
UT
IT

to his capabilities. Together with hard work, dedication and enthusiasm

ST
IN

are equally important for achievement of one’s goals. Thus,

{ 29 }

T H E S C I E N C E O F L I F E

achievement of goals is very much under one’s own control. Man

can achieve anything only if he

performs his duties sincerely.

Education, employment and

w.

achievement of goals are all

dependent on man himself.

Thus, a man’s efforts alone

decide his luck. This luck is called Human Luck because it can be

changed by man himself. No one else is responsible for this. There

are ample examples of such successful persons. These people are

which are actually his cover. Clothes are worn according to seasons

so that they have a good effect on the body. Similarly, homes are a

ai

man’s cover or shelter and they definitely affect the residents. Man

w.

tries to cure the negative influences caused by these factors. One of

6.
the ways to cure this is Feng Shui. Feng Shui is a practice of
23
61
arrangement of environment, situation, decoration etc. in and around
64

the home. If a person doesn’t know this, his life will certainly be
5,
23

affected by Earth’s Luck. But Feng Shui makes him aware of his
64

Earth’s Luck and suggests and provides solutions to the problems.

This way three types of lucks – Heaven’s Luck, Human’s Luck

.

and Earth’s luck play one third role each in a man’s life. Life can be

considered fine if two of these lucks are good. Nobody knows what
In

he is going to achieve. Life can be assumed best if a person with

OG

hard work creates and improves his Human Luck along with the other
L
RO

two. Any lack of the two lucks can be nullified by improving the Human
T
AS

Luck. Thus, a person should not get dissappointed over a lack of the
C
DI

two lucks because the third one is still in his own hands. Here, in the
VE
OF

Earth’s luck only one third change can be brought about in a man’s

life through Feng Shui. It cannot change a man’s life completely.
