II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
गहु एक जाती I
परीं त्या पाधाणी नासती II
वर्म जाणावें ते सार I
कोठे काय थोड़े फार II
कमाईचे सार I
जाती दाविती प्रकार II
तुका म्हणे मोल I
गुणा मिथ्या फीके बोल II
" In the world we live in, everything revolves round the Valuation aspect of our living. The priorities in our life vary according to the Valuation or Worth of a thing under consideration. In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj elucidates the paramount importance of Valuation in the journey of Self Realisation. He says, our worldly living revolves around body centric thinking or "I am the body" idea. Worldly possessions and sense gratification then play a pivotal role in our living. As a natural consequence, everything that caters to our material needs becomes valuable to us. Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, our perishable body in this ephemeral existence appears to be very real and seems as if nothing can go wrong with it. This web of deception weaved by Maya, the Mistress of Illusion is so overwhelming that One tends to value the world around him very highly in the material sense than its actual Valuation.
The journey of Self Realisation is all about Valuation. One must continually assess the worth of everything he does on the background of his ultimate goal, the Self Realisation. The Valuation is all about our outlook towards what we do. In a beautiful analogy Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, a good cook can make variety of delicacies from ordinary wheat while for a bad cook all goes in vain.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, a conscious effort of Valuation enables One to identify the worth of this rarest of rare human birth from the perspective of Self Realisation because right Valuation leads one to the door of Liberation. "
