148-Prakrutiyim poragiruva naranaaru Srushtiyali?...

Translation:       “There no ‘one’ master to our lives. There are three. We are one of them. Results of our actions – present and past is another. God is the third master of our lives. With these three masters there seems to be no goal, no start or end in this court. There is no definite rule to judge our actions by – good or bad.” – Mankutimma
