Destiny & Prayers.

According to Karma Siddantha the fate of every individual is determined at the time of birth. Whatever has to happen in the lifespan will happen.

IF SO

Is it wise for us to pray God and ask for the wishes and wantons?

This is very important question?

Karma Siddhantha emphasising the Prarabhdha Karma says that even God is not in a position to interfere with our fate (Prarabdha Karma Phalas).

Can our Prayers be an act of thanks giving????

Some religion other than Sanatana Dharma says prayer should be an act of thanks giving to the God.

IF SO

Will it not be illogical to thank God for the fortune which we have got due to our fate which was already destined?

With all these questions a doubt arises.

Is it necessary to involve ourselves in prayers to God??? This is the doubt an atheist also wants an answer to.

Well, the answer is that prayer should never be a means of fulfilling our wantons, since what we deserve is already been allocated for us at birth. The act of prayer is to have a dialogue with the God as we do with our near and dear ones. Most importantly prayer does not mean only reciting some mantras, but having a mind which is tune to that Absolute Consciousness. Just thinking of Him is enough to have our Individual Consciousness to get merged with the Absolute Consciousness.

What would happen if our Individual Consciousness merge with Absolute Connsciousness???
With the merge of the Individual Consciousness and Absolute Consciousness our Agami Karma (Current action) will be free from yielding the Phalas (resultant fruits) which would otherwise  be added to Sanchita Karma phalas (accumulated resultant fruits).

How would Agami Karma be affected???

The moment the Individual Consciousness merge with Absolute Consciousness there is no duality the Jeevatma and Paramatama is in unison. There is no individuality and any action performed with the sense of non Doer-Ship has no resultant fruits for those actions. Prayer is complete surrender and doing action.

Prayer without action and action without prayer are one and the same. Neither of them help the individual to excel. The four Purushartas (goals in human life) namely Dharma (righteousness), Artha (monetary gain), Kama (desire) and Moksha (liberation) are sewed together with the thread called "PRAYER".
