II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
दधीमाजी लोणी जाणती सकळ I
ते काढी निराळे जाणे मथन II
अग्नि काष्ठामाजी ऐसे जाने जन I
मथिलियाविण कैसा जाळी II
तुका म्हणे मुख मळीण दर्पणी I
उजळील्यावाचुनि कैसे भासे II
It is said that Spiritual Path is just like "Walking on a two edged sword."
In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj elucidates this thought. He says,
To succeed in this, we need to awaken from within, which is possible only by Divine Providence.(ईश्वर कृपा). A conscious effort at the appropriate time is paramount on this journey of Spiritual Awakening.
It requires an iron will to steer One's perspective from worldly to Spiritual through inner renunciation, making it an arduous journey of Selflessness, Commitment and Sacrifice. Unfortunately few display the courage of conviction to sustain the same spirit for too long.
Illustrating with beautiful analogies Sant Tukaram Maharaj says,
Just like churning of curd separates the butter inherent in it, the distinctness of the Divine Lord cannot be realised unless a conscious effort is done to attain Self Realisation.
In another analogy he says,
One need to make a conscious effort to make the fire indwelling in wood to surface because only the freely blazing fire makes flames out of everything thrown into it.
In another analogy Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, in the mind mirror clouded with dust of our false ego sense, we cannot see our True Self clearly. The cleansing of mind mirror is nothing but the quietness of mind and the ultimate sublimation of all its wanderings.
Just as when the darkness of the night is dispelled, everything shrouded becomes visible, similarly when One makes a conscious effort to remove perversions of mind, there arises the blissful realm. The calm mind, free of agitations enjoys the Intuitive Peace Forever. "
