II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

चित्त ग्वाही तेथे लौकिकाचे काई I
स्वहित ते ठायीं आपणापें II
मनासी विचार तोचि सार भाव I
व्यापक हा देव अंतर्बाही II
शुद्ध भावा न लगे सुचावा परिहार I
उमटे साचार आणिके ठायीं II
भोगित्यासी काज अंतरींचे गोड़ I
बाहिरल्या चाड नाही रंगे II
तुका म्हणे भाव शुद्ध हे कारण I
भाट नारायण होईल त्यांचा II

It is said that
" Two birds living together, each the friend of the other, perch upon the same tree. Of these two, one eats the sweet fruit of the tree, but the other simply looks on without eating. "
While it may be easy to assume that the enigmatic combination of body and mind makes us who we are as individuals, the truth is that we all have an eternally unchanging part of ourselves that is who we are at the very core of our beings. It is only by unveiling the curtain of ignorance and ego that we can realise our true Self as the Silent Witness within. In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says that One never becomes Self because he is already the Self. The journey of Self Realisation is a look within. The Infinite silence is You, to the heart it is the greatest liberation while to the ego, it is the signal of its mortality, fragility and impermanence. Sant Tukaram Maharaj says that You are that which sees all this in the play of Consciousness. The Silent Witness. One needs to be still and experience that You are that.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says that the great truth in the quest of Self Realisation is " what you are looking for, you are looking with. "
The Self is the space, like witnessing Consciousness. It is the knower of all, but itself cannot be known as an object. It will be like tying to see your own eyes. "
