II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

सर्प विंचू दिसे I
धन अभाग्या कोळसे II
आला डोळ्यांसी कवळ I
तेणे मळले उजळ II
अंगाचे भोवंडी I
भोय झाड़े फिरे धोंडी II
तुका म्हणे नाड I
पाप ठाके हिता आड़ II

"Nothing happens to a person that he does not for some reason or other deserve. Usually One cannot comprehend the reasons behind happenings. The definite invisible cause of the visible effect cannot be necessarily confined to our present life. It may be traced to some remote past birth.
In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj talks about shadow of Karma in our past lives which influences our present life and challenges us in so many ways. He says, to the crooked eye all things are wierd, as certainly as to the jaundiced they are yellow.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, One who spins about himself finds his surrounding whirling about him. Similarly nasty things done by One in his past lives compel him to follow suit in his present life thus becoming the root cause of his sufferings. He says, what we do in our present life is due to what we did in our past lives and over which we have no control. However if we make a conscious effort in our present life to think good and to do good then One can surely break out of an otherwise vicious cycle.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, we are what we made ourselves through our actions in our past lives. We ourselves are responsible for our own happiness and misery. We create our own heaven and we create our own hell. He says, only we are the architects of our fate."
