Premanand Maharaj Ji
What role do prarabdh and practice play when I fail?
Practice and prarabdh work together
Success needs both practice and prarabdh (the fruit of past karma); without practice, prarabdh can do nothing. If you fail, keep making effort and practise again next time, and stay away from intoxicants and dirty thoughts.
When failure comes, you know automatically, like a certificate. You feel: my effort was great, yet failure came.
