Those who are spiritu- ally inclined accept their lot as their destiny and in times of distress find solace and strength in prayer.
But, man is also endowed with free will and hence he can make the best of all circumstances. The joys and sorrows an individual faces in his life are the fruit of Karma accrued in previous lives and none can escape the consequences of his actions. 8 THE HINDU, Monday, JNATIONAL CHENNAI, JULY 29.
