If we think that the effect of the prarabhda karma (past actions) is inescapable, then what is the use of worshipping God? Even though prarabhda is there, the Grace of God will certainly remove, to a large extent, the bad effects from such actions. Here is a small example: There is an injection bottle.

The expiry date written on it is 1970. In the year 1972, both,the medicine and the bottle, are still there, but the medicine has no power. In the same way, in our destiny there may be the medicine or prarabhda; but by the Grace of God we can weaken or blunt its effect. If God is pleased, He will certainly annul the bad effects of past actions.

Therefore, the most important thing we have to try is to earn the Grace of God.
