II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

न म्हणे साना थोर I
दुष्ट पापी अथवा चोर II
सकळां द्यावी एक चवी I
तान हरुनि निववी II
न म्हणे दिवस राती I
सर्व काळ सर्वांभूती II
तुका म्हणे झारी I
घेतां तांब्याने खापरी II

It is said that
" Truth lifts the heart like water refreshes thirst. "
Just like water is to thirst so is the Holy Ram Nam to attaining Self Realisation. Just like water is inherent in thirst so is the Name of Supreme Lord Shri Ram which is inseparable from Himself. In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj talks about the glory of the Name Worship of Supreme Lord Shri Ram analogizing it with water. He says,
Just like quenching thirst is the quality inherent in water so is the Holy Ram Nam which instills tranquility from within without discrimination to anyone who recites it with reverence. Like water which quenches thirst regardless of the mode in which it is given, so is the Holy Ram Nam which seeps within to sow and nourish seeds of piousness and righteousness in the seeker.
In the farm while scattering the seeds by hand during sowing, the distribution of seeds is not uniform. Regardless of the position in which seed falls to the ground during hand sowing, the crop sprouts out of earth only in one direction. Similarly the recital of Holy Ram Nam serves it's purpose of instilling peace of mind from within and hence unfolding the journey of Self Realisation regardless of whether it is done knowingly, unknowingly, adhering to rituals or without any inhibitions.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says that just like robber Vakya Koli who was transformed to Sage Valmiki even though he chanted RAM in the reverse order of letters, One must make a conscious effort to inculcate the habit of reciting Holy Ram Nam so that by practice it becomes so habitual and unpretentious that it happens with natural ease. He says that the Name Worship of Supreme Lord Shri Ram should spring from within like running water of river which needs no impetus from outside, as it has momentum of its own. "
