II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
भरला दिसे हाट I
अवघी वाढली खटपट I
संचिताचे वाट I
वाटा होउनि फांकती II
भोगा ऐसे ठाया ठाव I
कर्मा त्रिविधाचे भाव I
द्रष्टा येथे देव् I
विरहित संकल्पा II
दिला पाडोनिया धड़ा I
पापपुण्याचा निवाड़ा I
आचरती गोडा I
आचरणे आपुलाल्या II
तुका म्हणे पराधीने I
झाली ओढ़लिया ऋणे तुटतीं वंधने I
जरि देवा आळविति II
"In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj talks about how to clear our Karmic Debt and hence set the soul free so that it can soar and merge with the Supreme Divine. He says, clearing the Karmic Debt is nothing but Liberation. So long as there is a Karmic Debt owed by you or owed to you, there is no escape from the inevitable cycle of Karmas where every action carries within it the seed of consequences.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, this vast universe is like a marketplace crowded by beings. Just as an accountant opens his books every new year, and carries forward the assets and liabilities of the past year, a soul upon taking birth carries with it a basket of Sanchit Karma, a cumulative effect of all his actions in past lives. When the soul incarnates, it carries with it Prarabdha Karma which is a part of Sanchit Karma. The Prarabdha Karma is inevitable and cannot be altered. Kriyaman Karma or One's present actions and experiences are directed by the nature of Prarabdha Karma with which One is born. Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, Karma is chaining of soul to the earthly body and hence if Bad Karma is like an iron chain then Good Karma is like a gold chain. But both are chains nevertheless. The soul is still bound by either. While Good Karma may bring happiness, the Bad Karma bring suffering.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, as soon as a soul incarnates, it is a puppet in the hands of Prarabdha Karma. One cannot choose whether to experience it or not. However he says, though it is true that we have no control over Prarabdha Karma, what we can surely do is how we handle it and respond to it.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, though Prarabdha Karma is inevitable, we can surely work on our Kriyaman Karma. In other words if we perform all our present actions assuming that not we but GOD alone is the Doer, then the constant refilling of Sanchit Karma basket will halt, for only when the basket of Sanchit Karma will empty, the Karmic Debt will be neutralized and One will become free from the endless cycle of deaths and rebirths. He says, if our Karma is the disease then it is a remedy in itself. All depends on how we live our Kriyaman or present, for key to Liberation lies very much Here and Now."
