II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

गोडपणे जैसा गुळ I
तैसा देव झाला सकळ II
आता भजूं कोणे परी I
देव सबाह्य अंतरी II
उदका वेगळा I
नव्हे तरंग निराळा II
हेम अलंकार नामी I
तुका म्हणे तैसे आम्ही II

It is said that
" You must look most intimately and discover for yourself; then it is your own, not somebody else's, not something that you have been told, because there is no teacher and no follower. "
In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj talks about the Supreme Reality, the Homogeneous Oneness. He says,
The Eternal Essence expressing through matter is the manifested entity in each one of us. The Eternal Consciousness is the Self in all individual beings. All beings are in this Self, and the Self is in all beings. All forms emerge out of this Consciousness, sustain by it, and ultimately merge back into it. Just as ocean is One, the waves on its surface exist in the ocean, spring out of it and ultimately sink themselves back into the ocean. So too is life. The matter ripples out of the Supreme Consciousness, and ultimately we all merge back into the Homogeneous Oneness.
Gold is the foundation of all ornaments made of gold. As all these ornaments are expression of gold, upon melting of the ornaments, the gold still remains as gold , nothing happens to it. Ornaments have no existence independent of gold. Similarly the countless forms of the One Supreme Divine are expressions of One Divine Cosmic power, and have no existence separate from Him.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says that this outer world of plurality, cognized by our limited material vehicle of body-mind-intellect, is all a play of names and forms, upon the Infinite Consciousness. That One Homogeneous Whole is the changeless in changing phenomenon, just like the One gold in ornaments, the One ocean in waves, the One clay in pots, the One thread in pearls, the One sun in rays, the One sweetness of jaggery and the One moon in pitchers.
Thus the effects cannot remain away from their cause; for they are born of their cause, exist in their cause, and merge back to become One with their cause. "
