II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

क्षणक्षणा हाचि करावा विचार I
तरावया पार भवसिंधु II
नाशवंत देह जाणार सकळ I
आयुष्य खातों काळ सावधान II
संतसमागमी धरावी आवडी I
करावी तांतड़ी परमार्थी II
तुका म्हणे इहलोकिंच्या वेव्हारें I
नये डोळे धुरे भरूनी राहों II

"Among the innumerable species, this rare human birth is in itself a unique blessing in the arduous journey through countless births. In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj implores us to exercise caution of not wasting this precious human birth, an opportunity to seek Liberation, by chasing frivolous material pursuits. He says, the human being is rewarded with a unique ability of sense of discrimination which allows him to differentiate between what is good and what is hazardous on his journey of Self Realisation.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, the cumulative effects of all our actions in our past lives, positive or negative, are believed to be accumulated in Sanchit Karma. He calls it an Ocean of Karma. The mind of the seeker needs to be preoccupied by the thought of finding the ways to stop the constant refilling of the basket of Sanchit Karma, for there is no way out of the endless cycle of deaths and rebirths till One transcends across this Ocean of Oceans.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, we say we understand that life is fleeting, but we act as though it is endless. He says, the trouble is we think we have time when we do not. This rare human birth is like a passing mist, like trying to catch hold of a breath, for all vanishes like a vapour and it is absolutely unforgiven when One wastes his rare human birth on mere material aquisitions.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, the seeker must feel the need to be in the vicinity of a Spiritual Master, a Self Realised Soul who will initiate him on spiritual path and without whom there will be only aimless wandering.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, a conscious effort to make this precious human birth worthwhile is all that matters on the journey of Self Realisation. And hence he says, be not afraid of going slowly, but be afraid only of standing still."
