II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

नाम गोड नाम गोड I
पूरे कोड सकळही II
रसना येरां रसां विटे I
घेतां घोट अधिक हे II
आणिकां रसे मरण गांठी I
येणे तुटी संसारा II
तुका म्हणे आहार झाला I
हा विट्ठल आम्हांसी II

"It is said that when GOD Shriram, the Indweller in all hearts, is bound by the rope of devotion and tethered to the post of the tongue, He gets bound to the devotee.
In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj talks about Name Worship of GOD through Holy Ram Nam. He says, Name of GOD is sweeter than the sweetest of things in the world, and those who taste of it lose an appetite for all else. The more One absorbs himself in chanting Holy Ram Nam, a marked distaste towards worldly attachments starts seeping in slowly but steadily.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, practicing Name Worship of GOD helps One to break free from bondage of "I am the body" idea, an ignorance which is the root cause of all sufferings.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, the Holy Ram Nam is the food to the soul and he who tastes it lives in perpetual bliss all the time. He says, a rare soul gets to this Elixir of life, for whoever drinks it, surely transcends beyond the the realm of repeated sufferings of death and rebirth. By devotion, One beholds GOD and practicing His Name Worship, he tastes the Essence of GOD."
