Karmas generate Bandhas; to extricate from these Bandhas one undergoes rebirth and indulges in further Karmas, again amassing a bundle of Bandhas in the process! Thus the vicious circle of births and deaths to experience the Karmas and Bandhas is alternating eternal activity the end of which is not to be found by the human being in near future.But one need not worry at all! There is a 'death knell' for the seemingly endless Karmas too. It is again by being shrewd enough to bank on the grace of the Almighty through 'Surrender'! Let us see how it works.
For the inquisitive learned souls who are weary about the vicious circle and wish ardently for an escape mechanism, Annamachaarya's message through sankeertanas is quite inspiring. One such kriti on the related subject is, "Ennadu Diravu Yi Panulu"......
'O Lord ! The Karmas - Actions - ascribed to us by You are never ending. It is all due to Your 'Play of Illusion'. It wields the lives of the 'beings' in multi faceted forms in this world.
'The heads of various faiths and religions do not agree with each other on any issue nor settle for common conscience. They continue to harp on multifarious Gods and Goddesses. And they pose themselves as the ultimate authority on the authenticity and veracity of their religious practices.
'The education imparted in the various scriptures and studies differs from person to person, place to place and time to time. Their methodology follows different routes. They too do not concur on any single proposition. Men are of the nature of always entering in to arguments and try to contradict with each other's opinions. They while away in rhetoric.
'O Lord! Your devotees are all blessed lot on being moulded by Your grace. They always maintain composure in all diversities. Their mentors (Gurus) have taught them this stature!'.....
Thus we have a clear vision of the vicious circle caused by the Play of Illusion by the Almighty Himself and also the adapting technique to the situation by approaching the 'root cause of all', through unconditional total surrender Within ! The cherished outcome? Liberation through a composed, ever-blissful living !

Om Shanti!
