Wondering if we all are puppets in the hands of the almighty and of the nine planets that rotate and revolve far flung from us somewhere in the solar system, or has the almighty bestowed us with a law of free will. What is prarabdh ( the collected deeds of past lives) and what is purusharth ( the actions ). Here is what a famous seer answered.
Most of us are aware of the game of bridge played with pack of cards. We get some cards initially after shuffling. And then as game pursue, we also take help of additional cards, whenever our turn arrives. Either we pick the cards throw away the card we dont want or we let that card go by without any inclusion and exclusion.
But those actions do change the game we playing.
Just like that we are given a certain set of cards in life also. The one on whose reception or non reception is not in our hand. This is prarabdh, past collected karma. But then life tosses in front of us cards that could be changed by our actions and present karma. And so we can change our destiny by playing with our conscience.
This is life, destiny, the collected deed ( sanchit karma) and our actions. Lord Krishna also said in Bhagwad Gita, that "although He controls the entire Universe, yet He does not interfere; He allowed the people to choose their own actions".
We can change our destiny, our forebearance of fruits of our own deed. By our thoughts, actions and love for the Supreme and His creations.
Every religeous scripture is based on teaching of three element, HOPE, FAITH AND LOVE.
Let us fill our heart with these and do our deeds.
