[Verse 1]
Karma confused Newton law
To every action reaction
Self divinity compromised
Punishment reward fate obliged
[Verse 2]
Karma phalam misconceived
Fruit is good or bad fantasy
Cultivate your seeds sow you reap
Define fruition reactory … I say …
[Chorus]
By karma thought and word and deed
Soul manifests divinity
[Verse 3]
Karma bandhana misconstrued
As if debt unpaid IOU
And when payment due no escape
Yet choice always with you to walk away … it’s your attachment that actually binds …
[Chorus]
[Instrumental]
[Verse 4]
Does nobody problem see
Philosophical ABC
Makes a mockery sloppy fit
Soul divinity contradict
[Spoken word outro]
But what about bad karma (suffering) surely that’s best understood as reaction to past misdeeds? Or could it serve us in some way … set the stage/facilitate something we want? Or is it simply a manifestation of our simultaneous oneness – whatever I do to another I do to myself, rather than punitive reaction? You decide what makes sense to you. Whatever serves you to believe.
