II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

सुनियाचा हाचि भाव I
आपला ठाव राखावा II
दुजियाचा येऊ वारा I
नेदूं घरावरी देउं II
केली याची फाडाफाडी I
तडामोड़ी क्षेत्राची II
पातेजत नाही लोकां I
देव तुका वाचूनि II

It is said that,
"Your dog is the ultimate acolyte, he believes you are the very image of God "
In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj illuminates the seeker on his journey of Self Realisation by giving an analogy of a dog. He says,
The seeker needs to inculcate forgiveness from within to move a step closer to God. As the famous saying goes, "to err is human - to forgive, canine", only when One makes a conscious effort to let go of what he is, he can become what he might be.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, Dog gives man his absolute utmost loyalty at all times, unfailingly. Dog does not care about what's in it for him by being man's friend because when dog offers friendship, it is friendship for life. Similarly the seeker must stick to the path of Self Realisation with fervour, believing in what he is doing and without any discrimination as well as expectations just like a dog.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, Dog is at peace with himself and comfortable in silence. Dog does not need to make a constant noise to validate his existence. Similarly the seeker must practice to remain absorbed in the Name Worship of Supreme Lord Shri Ram incessantly in silence because journey to Self Realisation is a journey within.
Just like Dog's hearing is far more sensitive than man's, the seeker must make a conscious effort to hear the Holy Ram Nam recited within though silently. In a way it will help him not to sway his attention from his ultimate quest.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, Dog is not a bowl-half- empty being. He does not grumble his way through life. Just like Dog, the seeker must apply himself with zest to make most of this rarest of rare human birth by immersing in the Name Worship of Supreme Lord Shri Ram and making each moment of his life count with contentment of accepting his life as it is.
It is said that Dog can be unselfish in a way that man can only aspire to be. Just like Dog, a Selfless Devotion is paramount on the journey of Self Realisation.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, to keep at bay the thief of duality, the seeker must annihilate the false ego sense just like a menacing dog tears off the skin when he bites ferociously.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, just like Master is sure of loyalty of his DOG, GOD also helps the seeker displaying adorable qualities of Dog persistently on his journey to Self Realisation. "
