Merit and Luck

571.02Question: As is written: “Sons, life, and nourishment do not depend on merit, but on luck.” What does this mean?

Answer: This means that the results of a person’s efforts, aimed at having sons and other fruits of his labor, depend not on the effort itself, but on the influence of the Creator on those efforts, on how much effort a person puts into becoming a conduit for the upper light.

Question: How do we free ourselves of regret and suffering that the Creator rewarded us according to merit rather than sending luck? What should the correct prayer be?

Answer: The correct prayer is a request for the success of your friends and that you will hold onto them and rise together with them.
