An evil Prarabdha will not allow the withdrawal from Kriyamana-Karmas and as long as it is not exhausted through experience, rebirth and pain cannot be stopped. Only a good Prarabdha can allow higher effort, the rise of knowledge, and cessation from Kriyamana-Karmas. Sometimes Prarabdha manifests itself, not through the individual consciousness, but either through external agency or occurrences having causes beyond human comprehension. Even when a person is goaded by another to do action or Purushartha, it is only an aspect of his Prarabdha in relation to the other's that works. In the state of supreme wisdom, however, such incitations and admonitions cease.
Effort is the natural concomitant of the consciousness of imperfection.
Man, being imperfect, continues, by his own nature, to exert until the achievement of Perfection. The question of Prarabdha and Purushartha is a relative one and it loses its meaning on the dawn of Perfect Knowledge.
