[Advaita-l] Are actions essentially meaningless?

[sriram]

Dear
I think prarabdha can play a part in pushing the soul towards to Gyana marga
by creating conducive circumstances.Lord Krishna says so in B.G.Chap
6-40,41,42and 43.Prarabhdha is accumulation of Karma phala to yield  result
in the next birth.
