Guest guest Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 How to tide over Prarabdha Karma If we think that the effect of the prarabhda karma (past actions) is inescapable, then what is the use of worshipping God? Even though prarabhda is there, the Grace of God will certainly remove, to a large extent, the bad effects from such actions. Here is a small example: There is an injection bottle. The expiry date written on it is 1970. In the year 1972, both, the medicine and the bottle, are still there, but the medicine has no power. In the same way, in our destiny there may be the medicine or prarabhda; but by the Grace of God we can weaken or blunt its effect. If God is pleased, He will certainly annul the bad effects of past actions. Therefore, the most important thing we have to try is to earn the Grace of God. The way to realize God Sanctify every word and deed by filling it with the Love and the Name of your favorite Lord. The gold of which an anklet was made can become the gold for a crown on the head of a temple image. Only it has to be melted in the crucible and beaten into shape. The waters of the river may not be pure, but the devotee who sips it with a Mantra or Stothra (Sacred Prayers) on his lips, transmutes it into a sacred theertha (Holy Water). The body becomes healthy by exercise and work. The mind becomes healthy by remembrance and contemplation of the Lord through regular, well-planned discipline, carried out joyfully. This is the secret passage to win the Heart of the Lord, to realize Him quick and fast. " Seek God just as you seek food. See God, Think God, Be God.
