Understanding Prarabdha and Sanchita Karma
Prarabdha refers to the portion of one’s karma that is allotted for the current lifetime, while Sanchita represents the accumulated karma from past lives. When a person accelerates their spiritual process, they must acknowledge that they will face their Prarabdha at an intensified pace. Instead of experiencing misery in small daily doses, they may endure significant challenges in a concentrated time frame, allowing them to overcome their struggles more quickly. This intense confrontation with one’s karma can ultimately lead to greater clarity and a better understanding of life's illusions, providing a transformative opportunity for growth.
