II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
सुख पाहता जवापाड़े I
दुःख पर्वता एवढे II
धरी धरी आठवण I
मानी संतांचे वचन II
नेले रात्रीने ते अर्ध I
बाळपण जराव्याध II
तुका म्हणे पुूढा I
घाणा जुन्तिजसी मूढा II
" In this composition , Saint Tukaram Maharaj has reiterated the absolute truth that life is but a momentary existence. It is like a rollercoaster ride with very little time to look within. Unless One is conscious of this reality , this rarest of rare human birth will be wasted on trivialities.
He says that, life is a sky loaded with dark clouds of sorrow and pain. Happiness like Showers of rains disperses these dark clouds, but momentarily. And hence One must follow the footsteps of Enlightened Beings who caution us of very short time of this fleeting existence.
Saint Tukaram Maharaj says that if One is assumed to live on an average of 100 years then half of it is wasted due to 12 hours of night everyday. In the remaining 50 years , a dozen years are spent in childhood and few fly in the frivolities of youth. Out of remaining , few are wasted in sufferings of diseases and rest in old age.
And hence Saint Tukaram Maharaj says that this human body which is meant to be a vehicle to Liberation is wasted in inconsequential things utterly due to ignorance. This veil of ignorance subjects One to the unending cycle of death and rebirth which becomes inevitable forever."
