II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

ओले मूळ भेदी खड़काचे अंग I
अभ्यासासी सांग कार्यसिद्धि II
नव्हे ऐसे काही नाही अवघड I
नाही कईवाड तेचि वरि II
दोरे चिरा कापें पडिला कांचणी I
अभ्यासे सेवनी विष पड़े II
तुका म्हणे कैचा बैसण्यासी ठाव I
जठरी बाळा वाव एकाएकी II

It is said that
" Be not afraid of going slowly, be afraid only of standing still."
The Self Realisation is a slow but steady process of maturing of the personality to accept it's own evanescence and hence to allow space for the True Self to reveal itself. It is the process of evaluating and analysing Oneself on the touchstone of Name Worship of Supreme Lord Shri Ram which if practiced pierces into Self and cleanses it from within. Once purified, the mind helps in ushering in Eternal Oneness of Supreme Consciousness. Thus One gets attuned to the Formless Supreme Essence through Self Realisation. It is the process of Becoming One with Supreme Consciousness. In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says that seeking Supreme Self is process of unlearning of fear and the acceptance of love back into our hearts by practicing recital of Holy Ram Nam incessantly and patiently, as Patience is always a companion of Wisdom.
Illustrating with beautiful analogies he says,
What goes inside of us is like the roots of a tree. The roots run deep, sometimes break the rocks, to give strength and beauty to the tree. Similarly as the journey of Self Realisation unfolds, the seeker feels the Divine virtues springing in him from within, as the true beauty lies in the purity of heart.
Nothing is impossible for a firm resolve of a determined Soul if One believes in it.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says that this is just like a rope can cut a big rock by mere friction or One can even digest a poison by becoming habitual to it. He says everything depends upon conditioning of our mind. And hence the process of Self Realisation is nothing but conditioning of our Consciousness to seek the Supreme Consciousness.
In another beautiful analogy Sant Tukaram Maharaj says initially there is not enough space in the womb of mother to accommodate a nine month old baby. But as the time goes by, things get conditioned and the baby fills a place in the mother's heart as if she never knew it was empty. "
