II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
समुद्रवलयांकित पृथ्वीचे दान I
करिता समान न ये कामा II
म्हणऊनि कोणी न करावा आळस I
म्हणा रात्रंदिवस रामराम II
सकळही शास्त्रे पठण करिता वेद I
सरी न ये गोविंद नामे एकें II
सकळही तीर्थे प्रयागादी काशी I
करितां नामासी तुळेति ना II
कर्वती कर्मरी देहासि दंडण I
करितां समान न ये कामा II
तुका म्हणे ऐसा आहे श्रेष्ठाचार I
नाम हेचि सार विठोबाचे II
"The Holy Ram Nam if recited with devotional love, has the power to bring upon the eager aspirant the Grace of GOD. If One absorbs in the Name Worship of GOD ShriRam, a great flood of happiness wells up within his mind. In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj talks about Name Worship of GOD which must come from the depths of feeling. He says, GOD looks for the True Inner Feelings rather than the Outward Appearance.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, One must not let his mind wander away from the Holy Ram Nam for it should constantly dwell on the sweetness the Name connotes. It should ruminate on the beauty of the form which it recalls, the fragrance which it spreads. He says, the Holy Ram Nam is more valuable than what One gets by donating the entire earth enveloped by seven seas. He says, One must practice to recite the Holy Ram Nam with every breath, for life of man is a momentary flash, a tiny wavelet, that rises and falls.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, the Holy Ram Nam is more potent than mere oral discourse of Scriptures. The Scriptures propound that in the present age of materialism, the Holy Ram Nam is the only hope.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, GOD is deaf to the prayers if they are with the tongue and not with the heart. One is rewarded by the Grace of GOD by the Trueness of his feelings and not by the number of temples he visits or the quantity and cost of his offerings at the pilgrimages. Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, the purpose of visiting pilgrimages is served wholly by reciting Holy Ram Nam, for it is the journey to the Supreme Indweller who resides within.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, the practices at pilgrimages such as self inflicted pain or disfigurement are futile attempts to seek GOD, for He can be attained only by Selfless Love.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, for the bird in the mid ocean flying over the dark blue waters, the only resting place is the mast of a ship that sails across. In the same way, GOD is the only refuge for a man who is swept by storms over a restless sea. The Holy Ram Nam is the mast for him. However far the bird may fly, it knows where it can rest. Similarly the Holy Ram Nam gives One the confidence, for he will surely not wander away from his goal, the Self Realisation "
