II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
आपुल्याचा भोत चाटी I
मारी करंटीं पारख्या II
ऐसे जन भुलले देवा I
मिथ्या हेवा वाढवी II
गळ गिळी आमिषे मासा I
प्राण आशा घेतला II
तुका म्हणे बोकड मोहो I
धरी पहा हो खाटिकाचा II
"The Illusion of Duality makes us believe that there is a separate world all around us. We are bewitched by Maya, the Mistress of Illusion, to become slave of worldly attachments. It is like being compelled to believe in "That Which Is Not." In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj talks about our false notion of seeking perpetual happiness from "That Which Is Not."
Illustrating with meaningful analogies he says, the maternal Attachment makes a cow lick the straw stuffed skin of her dead calf assuming life in it while the same cow resists a calf of some other cow ferociously. Be it her dead calf or an other alive one, it's the play of her Attachment that compels her to react accordingly. Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, Attachment points to Two-ness which is in itself an illusion in the Eternal Oneness of Supreme Consciousness. And hence we cannot get true happiness from "That Which Is Not."
In another analogy Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, more than the bait at the end of fishing rod, it is the Temptation that does the most damage. The desire of fish to get "That Which Is Not" becomes it's death warrant.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, a goat is unaware of real intentions of his master who has nourished him and loved him for different purpose. However it is the reciprocating Attachment of the animal to his master that becomes the reason of his downfall. In other words it is the Attachment in different perspectives that becomes the root cause of all our sufferings.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, desire is like a two edged sword. It is up to us how we wish to make use of it. The sword edge of material pursuits will keep us forever in the bondage of repeated sufferings, while if we use the edge of Desire of GOD, it will surely drive us on our journey of Self Realisation. The choice is ours in every moment."
