II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

अवघाची आकार ग्रासियेला काळे I
एक ते निराळे हरिचे नाम II
धरुनि राहिलो अविनाश कंठी I
जीवन हे पोटी साठविले II
शरीरसंपत्ति मृगजळभान I
जाईल नासोन खरे नव्हे II
तुका म्हणे आता उपाधिच्या नावे I
आणियेला देवे वीट मज II

In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj talks about the glory of the Holy Ram Nam. He says,
In the beginning was the Ram Nam and it was with God and it was God. It was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him is the life and life is the light of man and the light of Wisdom shines in the darkness of ignorance so that the illusion of " I am the body " crumbles forever.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says that he in whom the Holy Ram Nam becomes personified is the Self Realised Soul for whom it can be said that the Holy Ram Nam was made flesh and dwelt among us. On the other hand, One who has not been able during his lifetime to establish love for the Divine Name, at the time of death quits the body like a defeated gambler who leaves gambling den with empty hands.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says that the Holy Ram Nam assures salvation to all, whether good or bad, learned or unlettered. As sun and fire gives warmth and light to all, so is the Holy Ram Nam, which cannot fail to produce its effect regardless of the condition in which it is recited. "
