II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम iI
मुक्त होता परि झाला बद्ध I
घेऊनिया छंद माझे माझे II
पाप पुण्य अंगी घेतले जडुन I
वर्म नेणे कोण करिता तो II
तुका म्हणे गेले व्यर्थ वाया विण I
जैसा मृग शीण मृगजळी II
Shiva (शिव) and Jiva (जीव) are nothing but the Supreme Self and Individual Self. Just as a mirror reflects the objects in itself. We cannot separate the mirror from its reflection. We cannot say that reflection is the mirror itself. Yet we cannot separate the two also. Similarly the Jiva thrives on Shiva like a reflection.
Jiva (जीव) is haunted by spell of Mistress of Illusion Maya, which makes him forget of his True Nature. The Jiva becomes engrossed in "I am the body" idea taking him far away from his True Quest, the Self Realisation.
In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj talks about the relationship between Jiva and Shiva (जीव - शिव), as a relationship between Duality and Non Duality or between Difference and Non Difference.
He says, Jiva is but Shiva in the embodied form who contains within him both Purusha and Prakriti. Purusha is the Supreme Consciousness which is all pervading and Eternal and Prakriti is materiality and dynamism of the whole creation. In Jiva, Purusha is passive while Prakriti is active so is the natural inclination to seek frivolous material pursuits. Jiva is thus a Divine Being caught in the labyrinth of worldly existence. The dominant "I am the body" idea in Jiva compels him to assume that he is the Doer, when he is not.
Illustrating with beautiful analogy Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, just like a thirsty deer running behind a mirage, deluded by the luminous glow of moon light reflected from the sands in the desert, mistakes it for water from a long distance. The deer eagerly rushes to the spot but in vain. Again looks ahead and finds the flash of mirage appearing like an oasis far away. Again and again the deer makes the same blunder. Similar is the fate of man driven by the thirst of sense gratification which leads him to doom unless he wakes up from his deep slumber and does a conscious effort to make this rare human birth fruitful.
