Sidharism’s view on Fate

Sidhar’s state that a Fate is always present for a person throughout his life. However, this does not mean that the outcome is pre-determined. An analogy would be as follows:

Imagine you have to swim across a river from one bank to the opposite bank. Sometimes the current is non-existent and you will be able to reach the other bank easily. At other times, the current of the river is so strong it will push you way downstream from where you intended to go. In this case, you will have to put in a lot more energy to reach your destination. So, Sidhar’s state that “Vidhyayai Mathiyal Vellalam” or “Fate can be overcome by using your mental acumen”. However, it is up to you to put in the extra effort and energy to overcome Fate.

Another analogy: Let’s assume you are working at a company for a year and you are due for a pay raise. You walk into your manager’s office on the date you have your meeting. Has your pay raise already been determined or is it going to be a spur of the moment thing? Most probably, it has already been pre-determined after the manager has reviewed your performance during the year and talked with other people. Fate says that the amount is determined by the effort you put into your work over the year. Can it be changed at the last second? No. Can it be changed? Yes, if you had put in extra effort throughout the year.
