The trap of karma will not escape anyone. Everything is predestined according to the karmic account. No one has ever escape from the rule of Karma. Let's see the example of the great king of Macedonia Alexander the great who wanted to be the undisputed emperor of the universe. He would have also but he became severely ill when he was 32 years old. Before his death he commanded his servers to show his both hands to the world that he could not carry a penny with him. Who stopped his ambition? It is the bad karma of the past which stood in front of him.
So basically there are 3 types of karma. First is the present karma, which we do the deeds in this present life-time and get the result in this life time. Second is the Stored Karma Or the seed Karma which acts as a saving deposits. We do it in the present incarnation but is deposited in the savings account and ready to with-draw. Third is the Prarabdha Karma or the Destined Karma is that portion of the accumulated karma of the previous lifetime which is ready to get fructify in the present incarnation according to the eastern philosophies especially Hinduism and Buddhism. There is an escape from the first two karmas but there is no escape from Prarabdha completely. It will not let the meditative acetic of the highest level and the seeds of the previous bad karma will come out from him. Such is the impact of Prarabdha. But God Srikrisnha says to Arjun in the Bhagbat Geeta in the 18th chapter, 66th sloka that if you will completely surrender to me, I will make you free from your past deeds and bondage. This is the mysterious sloka which has many mythological deep insight. In the Shiv Puran,Sage Markendaya was destined to die at a very young age. But He did complete surrender to the Almighty. When the god of death approached him the Lord Shiva Himself descended and save his cute devotee. He granted him the boon of immorality.
