बंधनाचा तोड़ू फांसा I
देउं आशा टाकोनि II
नाही तेच घेतां शिरी I
होईल दूरी निजपंथ II
नाथिलेची माझे तुझे I
कोण ओझे वागवी II
तुका म्हणे अंतराव I
देवीं काय जिणे ते II
"As the famous saying goes "True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing."
The worldly knowledge we accumulate since birth is the knowledge gained through "I am the body" idea. It is far off from the Wisdom of our True Self, the True Knowledge of the Eternal.
Ignorance that envelopes humanity is just another name for Illusion that everything in this world is real as we see it. Just like a rope is mistaken for a snake, we tend to assume that our body is the real Self which is not.
The root cause of all our sufferings is "I am the body" idea which in itself is distancing from GOD. This is an unpardonable sin because life was never meant to be lived without GOD.
Man's mind cannot grasp the causes of events in their completeness. But the desire to find the causes is implanted deep in man's soul. In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, life becomes an aimless wanderings unless One consciously strives for His grace because GOD rewards those who diligently seek Him.
With a deliberate and conscious effort on the journey of Self Quest, the false ego sense and sense gratification recede and life takes a new zest like a breath of fresh air. As the burden of "I am the body" idea lessens, new doors to Self Realisation open. Unless One consciously offloads the Burden of Past, Burden of Doership and Burden of Sense Gratification, the shadow of duality due to "I am the body" idea will haunt forever and the way to GOD will be permanently lost in the mist of Illusion.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, GOD has a reason for allowing things to happen. We may never understand his Wisdom, but we simply have to trust his Will."
