Beautiful explanation of 3 types of karmas


KARMA & SURRENDER !
To attain freedom from the bondage of illusion (maya) and the cycle of birth an death, it is necessary to purify the mind stuff (chitta). It is advised to perform all karma for God, to give up and offer everything, mind intellect wealth time, to God, is the secret of Love.
1- Sanchita Karma is the sum total of past accumulated karmas. One lifetime is most often not enough to experience all the Sanchita Karma, and hence the soul reincarnates, or continues to come back to earth. However, it is possible for one to gain control and exhaust Sanchita Karma by clearing one’s karmic debt.
2- Prarabdha Karma is that subset of the Sanchita Karma that is ripe and ready to be experienced in this lifetime. Prarabdha means something that has already started. It cannot be removed or controlled. It can only be experienced, there is no other way around it.
3- Agami Karma is the karma that is being created and accumulated in the present to be experienced in the future.
When karma is performed with dedication and surrender, the basis being love for God, the result is detachment and renunciation of the fruits of karma. As there is no attachment, there is no accumulation of impressions, and previous accumulations do not gain any strength and fructify as destiny. Thus existing prarabdha is exhausted after bearing its fruit. In this way actions done with a sense of surrender and dedication help purify chitta and put a brake on the wheel of karma.
