II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम Ii
दिकचि या नाही संसारसंबंधा I
तुटेना या बाधा भवरोगाची II
तांतड़ी ते करी म्हणऊनि तांतड़ी I
साधिली ते घड़ी सोनियाची II
संकल्पाच्या बीजे इंद्रियांची चाली I
प्रारब्ध ते घाली गर्भवासी II
तुका म्हणे बीजे जाळुनि सकळे I
करावे गोपाळे आपुले भाट II
The Scriptures say,"Know the Self as Lord of the chariot, the body as the chariot itself, the discriminating intellect as the charioteer, and the mind as the reins. The senses, say the Wise, are the horses; selfish desires are the roads they travel."
In this materialistic age, a great many of us are possessed by our worldly possessions. The things we own, end up owning us. In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, in the world possessed by the spell of Mistress of Illusion Maya, our actions fuelled by desires are met by the reactions of sense gratification and thIs vicious circle will continue forever if One remains ignorant of the true purpose of this rare human birth. In this ephemeral existence One needs to hurry as time is short, for time isn't the main thing, but it's the only thing. He says, this rare human birth is a one time offer. One needs to grab it and use it well.
When a flower does not bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower. Similarly One needs to do everything possible for the flower of Self Realisation to bloom in its full glory.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, doing every action in our present life assuming it to be GOD's deed is the only way to be free of its Doership, else the notion "I am the Doer" is bound to keep the bucket of accumulated deeds (संचित कर्म) always full. Nothing lasts forver, for forever is a lie. All we have is what's between hello and goodbye. He implores GOD to nurture seeds of Awareness in him and wishes to grow flowers of gratitude in the soil of his prayer. "
