[Advaita-l] How is prarabdha karma alloted to a jiva ?

[Venkatesh Murthy]

Namaste

Short answer is Karma Phala is not automatically allotted but it is decided
by Ishwara according to Advaita.

He will decide what Karma Phala is and when it is experienced. We cannot
know exactly how He will do that.

He is a Superior Being.
