II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
फळ देठीहुन झड़े I
मग मागुते न जोड़े II
म्हणऊनि तातड़ी खोटी I
कारण उचिताचि पोटी II
पुढे चढ़े हात I
त्याग मागिला उचित II
तुका म्हणे रणी I
नये पाहो परतोनि II
It is said that " Freedom is not in the darkness, nor in the vagueness. There is no bondage so fearful as that of anonymity. It is to escape of this anonymity that the seed struggles to sprout, the bud to blossom. In the same way our soul, in order to release itself from the mist of indistinctness and come out in the open, to seek freedom, wants to see itself, to realise itself. "
Those who have fully realised the soul are not like the weakling flower whose stemhold is so light that it drops away before attaining fruition. In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj illustrates the journey of Self Realisation with a beautiful analogy of ripening of a fruit. He says,
When the fruit is not ripe, it takes a considerable effort to pluck it out of its stemhold. Similarly a seeker who has not attained Self Realisation is so much attached to his bodily existence that to raise him beyond his body consciousness seems to be a gargantuan task. However as the path of Self Realisation unfolds slowly, his worldly attachments too loosen their grip so that in the end he becomes free from their deathly clutches and attains Self Realisation. Sant Tukaram Maharaj says that this state of Self Realisation is just like the ripe fruit on the tree, when it falls to the ground in its natural course, it cannot be re-attached to the branch ever again.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says that the seeker on his journey of Self Realisation is just like a warrior on the warfront. The field of battle is the human body with its physical, mental and Soul faculties. On this battlefield, a war is raged between the soldiers of the Soul's pure tendencies and the uncontrolled activities of the corrupt wisdom-blind mind.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj urges us to have impartial introspection and analysis of mind, to be victorious on this journey of Self Realisation, a war of nerves. "
