The Hindu assumption that external circumstances is all regnant as it is molded by one's prehistoric whereabouts (karma) has too to be read beside the contention in Bhagavad-Gita that the consummate freshness of vigorous sagacity can burn up away and in this manner pre-empt the striking of all karma: "As a fiery inferno turns fuel to ashes, O Arjuna, so does the blaze of ease flicker to ashes all reactions to bits and pieces activities".
Here is how:
The Brahmavaivarta Purana and in no doubt separate narrations gestate of the yarn of Savitri, who had joined Satyavaan, though she had famed that, as per astrological predictions, he was destined to die teen. Reposing brimful trust in the powerfulness of her abstinence and be passionate about which constrained her to Satyavaan, she recited normally an magic spell (mantra), educated to her by Anusuya, the married woman of the very good sage, Atri.
On Satyavan's departure on the predicted day, Savitri pleaded next to the god of death, Yamaraaja, who she was competent to see through with her authority of chastity (pativrata shakti), to level out her husband's go.
Yamaraaja famous that, as Satyavaan's clip had come, he could do cipher. However, impressed with her continuity and devotion, he offered her any opposite boon. Savitri on the dot demanded that she be favored next to brood. Instinctively Yamaraaja acknowledged the close and was red when Savitri spearhead-shaped out that it was unsurmountable for this close to improve in the absence of her husband, to whom alone she was hop as married woman done her vow of abstinence (patnivratadharma). Yamaraaja, inundated with emotions of admiration, impuissance and respect, rehabilitated Satyavaan to life, amalgamation the couple to semipermanent old age of conjugal bliss.
Herein so lies the disparity involving fatalists and those who mould even their destinies through the clout of continuity and intelligence!
