II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
झाला प्रेतरूप शरीराचा भाव I
लक्षियेला ठाव स्मशानिंचा II
रडती रात्रदिवस कामक्रोध माय I
म्हणती हाय हाय यमधर्म II
वैराग्याच्या शेणी लागल्या शरीरा I
ज्ञानाग्नि लागला ब्रह्मत्वेसी II
फिरविला घट फोडिला चरणी I
महावाक्य ध्वनी बोंब झाली II
दिली तिलांजुळी कुळनामरूपासी I
शरीर ज्याचे त्यासी समर्पिले II
तुका म्हणे रक्षा झाली आपीआप I
उजळीला दीप गुरूकृपा II
" Grace is the unmerited favor of the God, which is freely bestowed on the devout seeker through the redemptive will of the God for the purpose of saving the embodied soul from the repeated births. The Divine Grace is man's enduring wealth of Self Realisation which is not to be found outside, for its ever present deep in the core of man's own heart. It can only be merited by becoming One with the Supreme Consciousness. In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj has illustrated it with a beautiful analogy of funeral rites. He says,
In crematorium, when the body burns, the destruction of falsehood leads to total loss of duality. When duality is lost, there is Oneness. When there is Oneness, there is the linking with the root within. In other words, the full vision of Divine Grace within is revealed. The analogy of crematorium thus correlates with the Divine link to Supreme Self. Sant Tukaram Maharaj says that the grieving relatives of the deceased are nothing but the attachments of the Self to body consciousness lamenting their separation. The cow dung cakes of detachment cremate the ego laden body of the deceased by the fire of Supreme Wisdom, to transcend the Spirit to its Supreme Abode of Eternity.
As soon as the Spirit becomes free of its bodily apparel, the Spirit once again gets attuned to the Supreme Self. Thus the Creation goes from subtle to gross or from psychic to physical and then again back. The body made of Earth, Fire, Air, Water and Ether merges back into them thus leaving behind everything attached to the bodily recognition of the world.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says that cremation is but a momentary halt in the unending cycle of deaths and rebirths, where the Spirit is free from bodily shackles and enjoys it's Oneness with the Divine Eternal. The sun of Grace of God is always present in its full effulgence. Once the phantom of ignorance is removed, the Grace of the Divine shines forth within. The Grace, Spirit, God are all synonymous with the Supreme Self, the ever Eternal and Immanent. Only sincere and unconditional surrender of falsehood will make One intuitively understand the Divine Grace, which will ultimately lead to the Self Realisation."
