Ulladu Narpadu verse 19

Are we bound by fate or is there free will,
is a question the unawakened ask,
whilst for those who’ve surrendered, those who’re still,
in the light of Self as they so do bask,
having beheld the truth, they wear no mask.
Karma and fate applies to souls who’re bound,
not to sages who walk on holy ground.

Absolutely! The intersection which confluences Karma and Fate makes the life of our Souls much more exculpating as well as imprisoning. Well captured!
