II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
तडामोड़ी करा I
परि उत्तम ते भरा II
जेणें खंडे एके खेपे I
जाय तेथे लाभे वोपे II
दाविल्या सारिखे I
मागे नसावे पारिखे II
मागे पुढे ऋण I
तुका म्हणे फिटे हीण II
"It is said that "The Wise regard the giving up of "I am the body" idea as exhaling, Self Enquiry as inhaling. Attention to One's Self, which is ever shining as "I", is the only raft with which the individual, who is firmly gripped by "I am the body" idea, can cross the ocean of unending births."
This composition of Sant Tukaram Maharaj is about Self Enquiry, of seeking the Source and finding out from where the "I -ness" springs or rises. He says,
Renunciation of desires, affection, attachments is just like merchandising. What One gets in exchange of these goods is the fuel of Self Realisation. This is because quest of our True Self becomes more focussed as the sheen of "I am the body" idea goes on fading.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, there are two ways of accumulating wealth. One who possesses riches of material wealth feels ocean of grief when death nears. He may have gathered his valuables with lot of hard work and enjoyed them for a long time, but in the end he must depart naked and empty handed as though robbed by thieves. As against to this One who has chosen the path of renunciation and detachment has consciously inculcated and practiced to be in the world but not of the world. He feels no fear as death nears because he is aware that the wealth of transformation from within which he has gained with conscious effort in his lifetime will be accompanying him in the future births and will help him from being swayed off from his ultimate goal, the Self Realisation, where he will transcend beyond the endless cycle of deaths and rebirths. This rare human birth is a wonderful opportunity to do everything possible in the quest of our True Self, as none of these conscious efforts will go in vain in his journey of Self Realisation.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, the choice of path is entirely a discretion of the seeker. But once chosen there is no going back from the path of Self Quest, because to do so will be to put all his earlier efforts in jeopardy.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, offering every thought and every action of this present moment (KRIYAMAN KARMA) to the Supreme Lord Shri Ram by absorbing in the Holy Ram Nam, One can consciously prevent accumulation of SANCHIT KARMA so that the path towards Liberation will start unfolding slowly but steadily and then it will be only a matter of time for One to reach Abode of Supreme Bliss sometime in future."
