[Arratherimi]

yes life is pre determined. But how is it pre determined? It is pre determined based on our karma or prarabhda karma i.e. our karma which have matured to be fruitfied. When keep repeating a karma - good or bad - it accumulates and becomes a prarabhda karma. Should this lead us to believe that every thing is pre determined in life. May be the major events of our life, like birth, marriage, major diseases, our children etc are the result of our poorva janma karma. But what about this janma? It is believed that that a soul when born in a body will do some karma - good or bad. If it is good karma we enjoy - it is like going to a hill station with your ATM card. The moment you run out of money you have to come back and start earning again. The benefits of good karma of poorva janma will give us heaven. But heaven is not a karma bhoomi. We have again to come to this boolokha which is the karma boombi. Similarly we do the so called bad karma we suffer in hell to the extent of our bad karma. But is there any thing as heaven or hell or is it our enjoyment and sufferings that makes this boolokha heav en or hell for us. The karma we do in the present janma will stand us for the next one. In a way it is karma and karma only which determines our destiny. When we have this wisdom or say when our soul is matured to understand this, we should try and do good karma, no matter what our karma had been in the past janma.
