II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
हालवुनि खूंट I
आधी करावा बळकट II
मग तयाच्या आधारे I
करणे ते अवघे बरे II
सुख दुःख साहे I
हर्षामर्षि भंगा नये II
तुका म्हणे जीवे I
आधी मरोनी राहावे II
" In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says,
Since we, the Jeeva (जीव) the individual beings, live in duality, there are two minds at work. The external mind is connected to Maya, the illusion and the internal mind connected to its root, the Supreme Self. These are the two divisions of the same and One and only One Supreme Consciousness. Although both ocean and it's waves are made of the same One water, One is called the Ocean and the other is called Wave. In the similar way we the Jeeva, are nothing but the waves in the Ocean of the Infinite Divine Consciousness. Only when the external mind does not listen to its inner voice, it behaves as a separate entity. The external mind is our Conditioned Consciousness born of the confluence of body, mind and intellect with all its worldly expressions. Sant Tukaram says that this rarest of rare human birth is the opportunity for us to make a conscious effort to merge the wandering external mind into its root which is Changeless, Invisible, Undying and Pure, the Impartial Witness within.
Repeated travelling of a cart makes grooves in a dirt road. If both wheels of the cart remain in those grooves, then the bulls and the cart don't go hither and thither. Similarly remaining immersed in the incessant recital of Holy Ram Nam, the bull of the mind does not waver and race after Maya, the illusion.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says that the mind can only be reconciled by mind. The mind wanders because it is abandoned,deserted or deprived itself of the Divine Wisdom, and it will keep wandering until it gets dissolved in the Divine Wisdom like salt gets dissolved and becomes One with water.
