II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

पाहन पूजे हरि मिले, तो मैं पूजौं पहार I
याते ये चक्की भली, पीस खाय संसार II

In this composition Kabir talks about "Wheel of Life" or "Bhavachakra" that vividly describes how we become trapped in a counterproductive maelstrom of suffering and how it can be reversed by recognising the delusions that plague our ephemeral existence.The first step towards their elimination and replacement by positive virtues is the recognition of these ills.
We humans exist in an unenlightened state. The goal of our earthly sojourn is to attain enlightenment and gain deliverance from the constant cycle of birth and re-birth.
There are various reasons for the suffering our mortal forms have to entail. The Wheel of Life presents these very causes for our suffering. 
In this existence, one is reaping the harvest of seeds sown by actions (Karma) of past lives, while at the same time planting new seeds to ripen in the life to come.
There is no natural evolution in this process, hence a higher state of existence can be followed by an even better one or a worse one, depending entirely upon how it is utilised. Going up or down from one life to the next and returning again and again to the same patterns of action, through habit, and thereby reaping again and again the same results, this endless round of existence is represented by the 'Wheel of Life'. As the force of Karma depends upon the motivation behind it, the Karma of humans is strong, since they possess intelligence and free will. 
The word Karma is the term for action, encompassing not only the initial action itself, but also all its consequences. Karma, is thus the cause and effect. A seed does not cease to exist when it falls into the ground: it just disappears from sight, to develop later into a shoot which eventually becomes a fully-matured plant.

"Kabir says, if worshipping the stone idol of Lord Hari is a way to His Realisation then I would worship the mountain. But even better is to focus on purifying our Karma, for the Wheel of Life or Karmic Cycle can not only influence the future of our present life, but also the one you may have coming up. The soul passes into a different body after death bringing Karmic Impulses from the life just finished into the new one. Our long sequence of lives is a tapestry of creating and resolving Karmas-positive, negative and an amalgam of the two. Only the Good Karma is the gateway to liberation from mundane existence or attaining GOD Realisation."
