II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
संवसारसांते आले हो आइका I
तुटीचे ते नका तेणे भरू II
लाभाचा हा काळ अवघे विचारा I
पारखी ते खरा साहय येथे II
शृंगारिले दिसे न कळे अंतर I
गोंविचा पदर उगवेना II
तुका म्हणे खोटे गुंफता विसारे I
हातिंचिया खरे हाती घ्यावे II
"It is said that "Life is matter of choices, and every choice you make makes you."
In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj elucidates the paramount importance of making a right choice to make most of this rare human birth in the journey of Self Realisation, else there will be no way to end the unending cycle of deaths and rebirths.
He says, GOD isn't about making good things happen to you, or bad things happen to you. He is all about you making choices, exercising the gift of free will. You have to choose actions complementing your Self Quest.
When it comes to making the right choices, what matters most is not the appearance, for appearances are often deceptive, but the very Essence.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj has explained this with a beautiful analogy. He says, this worldly existence firmly in the grip of "I am the body" idea is but a marketplace.You are free to choose, but you are not free from the consequences of your choice.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, it is dangerous to trust everything One sees, because even Salt looks like Sugar. Hence the seeker of Supreme Self must be careful of choosing the right merchandize in this market. Just like every truth has two sides, One must be careful while making the choice only on the basis of the appearance and ignoring it's inevitable other side.
Getting attracted by outer appearance is nothing but sense gratification which springs from "I am the body" idea. And hence choosing on appearance is holding the "I am the body " idea dearly which is detrimental for the Self Quest.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, the intent of buying the glittery merchandise is in a way a voluntary approval of being content in the whirlpool of desires and hence feeling safe in "I am the body" idea.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, making the right choice is not difficult if One knows what he seeks. A constant Self Enquiry leads One to make the right choice by merits rather than the outer appearance and it is the key to unlock the door to Self Realisation."
