Guest guest Posted April 7, 2003 Report Share Posted April 7, 2003 Hare Krishna Please accept my humble obesiances unto your lotus feet. I have a question for the group. Do you believe that everything that happens in ones life is predestined, I mean whatever will ever happen to you at any moment of your current life is fixed at the time of your birth ? Is this true ? Prahlad Maharaj says is bhagavatam that both material happiness and material sadness is fixed and consequently nothing can be done to improve the material standard of your life in the present. And because this is so I should become Krishna conscious in this life and not worry about these things because no matter what actions I perform in this life I will still receive what is due to me in accordance with my previous karma. If this is so, does this mean that if I work very hard at some job or not work so hard, or abuse my health or eat very healthy, that I will still receive the exact same wealth or health that is due to me regardless of my behavior or actions in this life? Does this also mean there is no causal relationship with the actions I perform in this life and the results which I incur in this life? In other words,the actions I do by using my free will in this life have any bearing on the results that come to me in this life, or are my actions in this life only related to the reactions I will suffer or enjoy in my next life the actions i have performed today . Or what i will face in current life is a combination of results of both present and past actions ? Kindly enlighten me with scripture based proper answers.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2003 Report Share Posted April 7, 2003 1) freedom is always there, but it is very little and not sufficient to get out free from this material world only by ourselves... in this way we are called "eternally conditioned" 2) to receive krishna consciousness is a matter of mercy from Krishna and the spiritual master, no one has enough merits to receive it and, with caitanya mahaprabhu, no one has enough sins to be unfit to hear and chant the holy name..... in this way we can overcome the entanglements of maya and go back to Vaikuntaloka 3)sorry for my english... haribolo yasodanandana dasa italy _______________ MSN Extra Storage!
