II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
देह मृत्युचे भातुके I
कळो आले कवतुके II
काय मानियेले सार I
हेचि वाटते आश्चर्य II
नाना भोगांची संचिते I
करुनि ठेविलें आहते II
तुका म्हणे कोड़ी I
उगवू न सकती बापुड़ी II
"In the cacophony of worldly living we tend to forget that our most valuable resource, our body, which we proudly address as "I" is dwindling with every passing moment. But the spell cast by Maya, the Mistress of Illusion compels us to pamper our body consciousness so much that we succomb to its enticements even when we know from within that it is a trap. It is like we know but we are compelled to act otherwise. In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj talks about inevitability of endless cycle of death and rebirth unless we make a conscious effort to break free from this vicious circle. He says, Death, the predator is on the prowl and will swallow our body anytime, most likely catching us unawares. We understand this but still get carried away by the powerful pull of sense gratification as if it is beyond our control.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, the effects of all our Karma, positive or negative, from our past lives is believed to be stored in the basket of Sanchit Karma. We will continue to take birth again and again till all the Sanchit Karma is expended. In other words, our bodily birth has no end till we make a conscious effort to stop the constant accumulation of Sanchit Karma. Doing everything assuming that not we, but only GOD is the Doer is the only way to stop the incessant refilling of basket of Sanchit Karma. In other words reciting GOD's Name with every action is a slow but steady way to be free from the bondage of "I am the body" idea which further leads to Liberation.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, there is no way out of the labyrinths of repeated sufferings unless One makes a conscious revolt against the oppressing regime of "I am the body" idea."
