II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
काय धोविले बाहेरी I
मन मळले अंतरी I
गादले जन्मवरी I
असत्य काटे काटले II
सांडी व्यापार दंभाचा I
शुद्ध करी रे मन वाचा I
तुझिया चित्ताचा I
तूंच ग्वाही आपुला II
पापपुन्यविटाळ देही I
करितां न विचारिसी काही I
काय चांचपली मही I
जी अखंड सोंवळी II
कामक्रोधा वेगळा I
ऐसा होई का सोंवळा I
तुका म्हणे कळा I
गुंडून ठेवी कुसरी II
Purification of mind is the sustained endeavor to cleanse the mind of defilements, those dark unwholesome mental forces which run beneath the surface of our consciousness vitiating our thinking, values, attitudes and actions. For countless eons we have acted on the spur of greed, hatred and delusion. However the work of self purification cannot be executed hastily. Mere washing the body clean is but a futile attempt in this gargantuan task which requires patience, care and persistence. In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj talks about this aspect in the journey of Self Realisation. He says,
Cleansing from within is nothing but restoring order in the chaos caused by our desire ridden mind. The only way of getting released from the deathly clutches of worldly attractions is to immerse in the Name Worship of Supreme Lord Shri Ram.
The dirt of our mind cannot be washed away with water.This filth of our instinctive mind is responsible for our sufferings and delusions. The physical bathing can remove the outer dirt and odour of the body but it can never remove the filth of the mind. The mind is accumulating this filth since time immemorial. It is so aptly said that " If salvation can be obtained by bathing then the frog stands the best chance to achieve it. "
Without cleansing the mind, it is not possible to connect with One's True Self within which is none other than the Supreme Indweller
In remembrance of Supreme Lord Shri Ram are the purifying baths at the sacred shrines of pilgrimages. The Holy Ram Nam is the cleansing bath and ablution.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says that incessant practice of reciting the Holy Ram Nam is nothing but bathing in the pool of Supreme Bliss where the mental filth is washed off and One starts getting detached from the worldly temptations slowly but steadily. "
