Free Will-Part 2

KARMA & FREE WILL----

Karma by defintition is what is put on us which is usually inflicted upon by the cosmos. In short--Action also.
Free Will is what I will do myself irrespective of cosmos or any other agency.

As per the philosophy of some school of thought there are things which actually inspire the karma. ( Usually Karma philosophy is followed by most faiths and doctrines which are widely followed).

As per Philosophy of typically some schools in Hinduism & Buddhism believe there are different types of Karma

• Sanchita Karma- These are the accumulated actions, which typically
means the sum total of the karmas from past lives, this being
either good or bad cannot be changed either some say even by Prayers,
mantras or tantras. (This is also more prudent if the karma is
associated with the Fixed Sign)

• Prabhadra Karma- These correspond to the actual motion or the
actions set for us. It says it is the portion of the sanchita karma
which is actually reaping the fruit now e.g.: appearance, associations,
personal associations.etc. As per the Astaka Varga Bindus calculations
it can be found out what domain the individual needs to work more
towards and what can be obtained easily ( though there are other
factors contributing too)

• Agami Karma – It means coming or arriving. This is the karma which
one needs to create now to eventually bear the fruit now or later.

Interestingly as per the philosophy Shatyamsa Chart can help in understanding the karmic underbelly also (means the downfall of a specific karma).

Again what I read in Rohinaa--
God has created the humans impowered by free will. Human can choose to follow path of light or shadow/dark. Where is choice there must be free will but then subject changes from philosophy to sociology and then there is a question how far can the person reach beyond the ground firmed by social background.

I am not sure whether all or none of it is true but I do believe it is during the course of the journey we do realise how each of the philosophy might fit perfectly in circumstances each time bearing a different outcome/fruit everytime, sometimes by applying the same philosophy.
