#KROM 20. "Every saint is a sinner who never gave up!"
Without time-boxing one's expectation, if one can continually put proper effort without getting dejected by apparent downfalls, he can defeat his Karma driven away, showing its back! It is said, "Every saint is a sinner who never gave up!"
ஊழையும் உப்பக்கம் காண்பர் உலைவு இன்றித்
தாழாது உஞற்றுபவர். 620
Uzhaiyum uppakkam kaaNbar ulaivu inRith
thaazhaadhu ujnaRRupavar.
So then, why did Sri Valluvar say, "no amount of thinking can outsmart it" in Kural 380? Is there a contradiction?
Every moment occurs to an individual as per his past karma and the free-will of the individual. At the present moment, that individual cannot do anything to outsmart it. This is what is mentioned in Kural 380. However, in future, the same individual can use free-will properly with persistent effort in order to overcome the Karma. These are mentioned in Kural 619 and 620. There is no real contradiction as they have to be understood in different (time) contexts.
(How does one know about proper use of free-will? Is it possible to self-learn?)
