Aptavani-4
Questioner: How can we stop ourselves from eating junk food? During that time, is it the prarabdha karma or sanchit karma (accumulated karma to be worked out in future) that is in effect?
Dadashri: Sanchit karmas come from your past life as prarabdha karma in this life, and that is why one 'feels like eating this and eating that', and so one continues to eat tangy and spicy things. This puts stress on one's power of 'vitality' so that one is unable to digest the food properly. Therefore, the toxins keep collecting in one place. There are certain parts of the body where the 'vitality power' throws these toxins. Doctors can destroy them through ‘Rays' (radiation) or dissolving them with chemicals.
Illusory Purusharth and Prarabdha Karma
In the worldly life, that which people believe is purusharth, is not purusharth at all. If such a huge mistake such as this, goes on in India and everywhere else, what will happen to the people? You will have to understand the difference between prarabdha and purusharth from a Gnani Purush.
What do people consider purusharth? They consider getting up early in the morning is purusharth. A person will say, "Yesterday I got up late, but I got up early today. Then I had tea, went to the toilet, had a shower, and then immediately went to my work, where I stayed the entire day." He calls this purusharth. But that is destiny (prarabdha; ordained). Activities, such as running around, meeting people, going to the bank, etc., are all prarabdha. Now tell me, what do you think people understand is prarabdha? That which is prarabdha, they call purusharth. So then tell me when does purusharth happen? Is this not worth understanding? If you understand the difference between prarabdha and purusharth from the Gnani Purush, then your problems will be solved.
