II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
बहुता छंदांचे बहु असे जन I
नये वाटू मन त्यांच्या संगे II
करावा जतन आपुला विश्वास I
अंगा आला रस आवडीचा II
सुखाची समाधि हरिकथा माउली I
विश्रांति साउली सिणलियांची II
तुका म्हणे बुडे बांधोनि दगड I
तेथे कोण कोड धावयाचे II
" It is said that Maya, the Mistress of Illusion puppets mortals in many forms and ways. With the exception of a Self Realised Soul, Maya spares none. Caught in the whirlpool of worldly illusion, man wanders like deer running after delusion of water in the desert.
Liberation from the clutches of illusory world is not disappearance of material world but it is the change of One's vision. In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, the only way One can break through the formidable fortress of worldly illusion is by rising up to the platform of Divine Consciousness through Self Knowledge. One can cultivate Self Knowledge by making a conscious effort of remaining absorbed in the Name Worship of Divine Lord or by listening to Harikatha, the story Of God.
Harikatha (हरिकथा) is a story of Supreme Lord Vishnu, is the exposition of a religious theme. This Divine Storytelling is a composite art full of poetry, music, drama, dance and philosophy. It is a story about God or scriptural incidents or about Spiritual Beings who are the living exemplars for the existence of God. Listening to the stories about Divinity and Divine Beings subtly makes the mind of listener conscious of Self. Thus Harikatha not only entertains but it Enlightens One on his Spiritual Journey.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, One pointed devotion creates miracles. Just like a little child turns to his mother for his every need and not to anyone else, One must practice One Pointed Devotion to Supreme Lord without giving much thought to what people say.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, when the mind is completely absorbed in the object of meditation, it is called Samadhi. The mind then identifies itself with the object of meditation. He says, being absorbed in Harikatha, the story of God, is to experience Samadhi or Oneness with God.
The True purpose of this rarest of rare human birth is to make a conscious effort to realise that, God indwells in every heart as our True Self. Listening to Harikatha, being the drama soaked in Divine Devotion, helps One channelise his thoughts on his journey to Self Realisation.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, just as it is impossible to save a person who jumps in water with a burden of large stone tied on his back, its worthless to convince an ignorant mind who assumes Harikatha as a myth and believes in his worldly existence as the Truth. "
