II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

आठवे देव तो करावा उपाय I
येर त्यजी वाव खटपटा II
होई बा जागा होई बा जागा I
वाउगा कां सिणसील II
जाणिवेच्या भारे भवाचिये डोही I
बुडसी तो कही निघेसि ना II
तुका म्हणे देवा पावसील भावे I
जाणता ते ठावे कांही नव्हे II

It is said that
" Superficial knowledge breeds arrogance ; true knowledge induces humility. "
The worldly knowledge is nothing but gathering of information. It pertains to the world and all objects of knowledge are present in the world. However there is a certain quality of knowing which is not same as the knowledge. It is Realisation that is causeless and proofless and yet certain. The worldly knowledge however is relative and stands on doubt and uncertainty. The journey of Self Realisation unfolds when  there is love of Divine from deep within in perfect confluence with reason-less devotion which makes the seeker free from the bondage of worldly knowledge. In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj differentiates between the worldly knowledge and the Wisdom of Supreme Self. He says,
The worldly knowledge is a two edged sword. Either it can lead to man's downfall and destruction or if  harnessed for moral ends, it can bring maximum benefit and happiness to mankind. It breeds arrogance while Wisdom of Supreme Self is born from the ashes of arrogance. Only when the seeker casts away his intellectual slavery to blind faiths, superstitions and dogmas, his Individual Consciousness can expand to Supreme Consciousness and the Self Realisation dawns.
SummIng up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says that reason-less devotion of the Divine is the only prerequisite to attain the pinnacle of Supreme Bliss, the Self Realisation. "
