Destiny (Prārabdha)

Destiny is for removing anxiety, but is not for making a person an idler.

The Drops of Nectar··

Man does not commit sin or virtue by destiny, as the fruit of action is not action, but its enjoyment.

The Drops of Nectar··

Destiny creates favourable or unfavourable conditions for pleasure or pain, but man is free to be happy or unhappy.

The Drops of Nectar··

It is the all-knowing, the uninterested friend of all, all-powerful and all competent God's law, that nobody suffers more punishment than his sins, and that too is the fruit of some or the other of his own sins.

The Drops of Nectar··

Whatever happens, happens rightly and never wrongly. So be cautious in what you do, and be happy with what happens.

The Drops of Nectar··

Conduct against scriptural directions does not happen by destiny, but by desire.

The Drops of Nectar··

One thing is to 'do', and some other that 'happens', but both these are seperate matters. To 'do' is subject to effort and what happens' is controlled by destiny. Therefore, man is free to act in the discharge of his duties, but in securing the fruit, he is dependent on others.
