Salvation...Liberty...Moksha

karmoDa maLeyagi suridaga, kaNNa hanige mukti
marada hakki mari rekke beesidare, adara garige mukti
yadeya novu haaDagi hommidare bhaavakke bandhamukti
endu aadevu naavu mukta mukta mukta...?

The opening lines of a popular kannaDa TV serial MUKTA, these lines have so much meaning in them that I keep going back to them again and again. Especially nowadays.

karmoDa maLeyagi suridaga, kaNNa hanige mukti
when the black clouds descend as droplets of rain, it meets the tear-drop in the eye, and thus the tear-drop attains salvation.

marada hakki mari rekke beesidare, adara garige mukti
when the young bird on the tree, flutters its wings and flies, the branch which supported it hitherto, attains salvation.

yadeya novu haaDagi hommidare bhaavakke bandhamukti
when the pain in the heart, bursts out as a song, the 'thought' behind the pain attains salvation.

endu aadevu naavu mukta mukta mukta...?
on what fortunate day do we attain salvation?
