destiny/freewill

There are two ancient slokas which contradict each.one--Truely industrious people attain wealth
in this world;only cowards attribute it to destiny.---Second-----no one can change what the fate
has ordained.Omar Khayyam has penned acouplet as follows-
The moving finger writesand having writ moves on
Nor all thy piety and tears can lure to cancel half a line.
There are adherents galore of these twin theories--viz destiny and free will.In fact the followers
of free will passionately debunk Astrology because this discipline forecastes one's future without
giving credence to toil and hard work.THE destiny-wallas on the other hand ridicule the concept
of freewill.The truth lies in between the two.It would indeed be nagation of life itself if one foresakes duty and leaves everything to fate.Geeta-the profound teachings of Lord Krishna,
epitomises the value of KARMA.But it is equally true fate or destiny does play amajor role
in successor failure.
