II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

दह्याचिये अंगी निघे ताक लोणी I
एका मोले दोन्ही मागो नये II
आकाशाच्या पोटी चंद्रतारांगणे I
दोहींशी समान पाहो नये II
पृथ्वीच्या पोटी हिरा गारगोटी I
दोहोंसी संसाटी करू नये II
तुका म्हणे तैसे संत आणि  जन I
दोहोंसी समान भजूं नये II

" Among all the living species, the human form is most fit to seek the  nature of Absolute Trurh, the Essence of Divinity. Self Realisation is the opposite of ignorance. It is to get rid of the ignorance that One is different from the Divine Essence.In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says that One must not gauge a Self Realised Soul by the parameters of Mundane life. He says that the Self Realised Soul is like the water drops which do not adhere to the Lotus leaf. His mind becomes open to everything, but remains ever detached from everything. This is so different from the perception of an ordinary being shrouded in the veil of false ego which firmly holding the idea of  "I am the body " from deep within. It is most incongruous to draw parallels between a Self Realised Soul and an ordinary being.
Illustrating with beautiful analogies Sant Tukaram Maharaj says,
Both butter as well as butter milk are derived from the curd. But their worth itself makes the distinction between them. Similarly a Self Realised Soul who churns the butter of Realisation within, finds himself impervious, inwardly and outwardly, to all attachments to sense objects even when he lives amidst them.
Moon as well as lovely stars blossom in the infinite meadows of sky. But moon is moon and stars are stars. So is the Self Realised Soul different from an ordinary being.
A  diamond starts out of a coal. So are two beings born on earth. Just like a diamond whose cut and slice  makes it shine extravagantly, the Self Realised Soul through persistent conscious effort attains the Supreme Bliss of Non duality and glows forever in the essence of Supreme Self.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says that the Luminance of Self Realised Soul makes him unparalleled on the canvas of worldly life. "
