II.श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
देह तंव आहे प्रारब्धा आधीन I
याचा नी का सीण वाहू भार II
सरो माझा काळ तुझिया चिंतने I
कायावाचामने इच्छितसे II
लाभ तो न दिसे याहूनि दूसरा I
आणिक दातारा येणे जन्मे II
तुका म्हणे आलो सोसीत संकटे I
मी माझे वोखटे आहे देवा II
"It is said that "While alive, the body attracts attention and fascinates so completely that rarely does One perceive his True Self. It is like seeing the surface of the ocean and completely forgetting the immensity beneath."
In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj talks about the falsity of "I am the body" idea. He says, as long as we imagine ourselves to be separate personalities, one quite apart from another, the reality remains beyond our grasp, which is essentially impersonal. First we must know ourselves as witnesses only and then realise the immense ocean of Pure Awareness, which is both mind and matter and beyond both.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, the body we wear in the present life is governed by our Prarabdha Karma and there is no way out of it. Even GOD is His reincarnation is not spared from its inevitability. He says, it is worthless to lament on sufferings due to One's Prarabdha Karma which neither can be changed nor can be altered. It is better to let it take it's own course, for that is the only way to be rid of it.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj wishes to remain absorbed in the Name Worship of GOD wholeheartedly, for it is the only antidote to the poison of "I am the body" idea which brings bondage of worldly attachments.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, the way to Truth lies through annihilation of the false. To do so One needs to confront his deeply ingrained beliefs. Of these, "I am the body" idea is worst."
