Prarabdha Karma can be defined as the Karma the fruits of which are yet to be received by us in the present manifestation or the future manifestations. Prarabdha Karma is the residue of Karma performed by us in the previous lives and the fruits of which have not been made available to us until now. How and when would they fructify no one knows.

In the event of judging our Karma's, it is best for us that if we have negative prarabdha Karma in our balance then we must keep performing good Karma in this life. This is to neutralize the effects of the residual negative prarabdha Karma of the previous lives. Unless and until we do this... bad fortune always awaits us at every step. If we have positive prarabdha Karma in our balance then there is no need to worry for we shall always be lucky henceforth.

Yes, it is only the Karma that plays the vital role in the destiny of every living being. As we perform our Karma so shall be our future ahead. If we have been born in the house of a cobbler in the present manifestation then we could not have changed it by any means. Whatever was our residual Karma of past lives... we were born accordingly. Had our balance of Karma of past lives been so that we should have been born in the house of a king then nothing could have changed our destiny and we would have been born in the house of a king?

Most people in this World relate Karma to the physical work. It is not so. Karma apart from the physical work performed by one also entails the fruits of our thinking process. As we think so shall be the resulting Karma. The physical part is hardly 10% of the total Karma performed by us. Rest is Karma performed by ones thinking. Our thinking plays a very vital role in governing our Karma. More pure are our thoughts ... in other words more performance of good Karma would bear positive results in this or the next lives.

Beyond this... there is only salvation (moksha in Hinduism) to be achieved. And thereafter the atman soul goes to the abode of God (Vaikuntha in Hinduism). In Christianity aka the kingdom of God. our atman the soul within having reached the climax of life comes back to its pristine original pure form. No further manifestations... our atman the soul within gets liberated forever from cycle of birth and death.

Nowhere else to go further we shall attain salvation moksha the moment we leave our mortal frame! Until then we should impart back to the community whatever we have gained on the spiritual path!

I was born with a purpose as ordained by God Almighty. I still have miles to go before I sleep.
