II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

अग्निमाजी गेले I
अग्नि होऊन तेच ठेले II
काय उरलें तया पण I
मागिल ते नाम गुण II
लोह लागे परिसा अंगी I
तोही भूषण जाला जगी II
सरिता ओहळा ओघा I
गंगे मिळोनि जाल्या गंगा II
चंदनाच्या वासे I
तरु चंदन जाले स्पर्शे II
तुका जडला संतापायी I
दुजेपणा ठाव नाही II

" Self Realisation is attaining Oneness with the Supreme Consciousness by the intuitive faculty of soul.
Illustrating with beautiful analogies Sant Tukaram Maharaj says,
Just like the identity of a thing thrown in fire is erased completely as it becomes One with it, the seeker of Supreme Self must seek the fellowship of a Self Realised Soul and follow his footsteps on the journey within. Just like an ordinary iron transforms into precious gold as soon as it touches the Paras Stone, the fellowship of Self Realised Soul does the wonder of transforming the seeker from within until he realises that the riches of the world are all not outside but with him and within him forever.
Just like the vicinage of the Sandalwood becomes incensed with its rich fragrance, all who follow the footsteps of the Self Realised Soul savour the aroma of piousness emanated from him. In a way the fellowship of a Self Realised Soul is a journey of transcending the realm of duality to become One with Supreme Consciousness."
