II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

शिजल्यावरी जाळ I
वायां जायचे ते मूळ II
ऐसा वारावा तो श्रम I
अतिशयी नाही काम II
सांभाळावे वर्म I
उचिताच्या काळे धर्म II
तुका म्हणे कळे I
ऐसे कारणाचे वेळे II

In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, Self Realisation is a journey that unfolds over several lifetimes. And hence doing haste in worshipping GOD serves no purpose. He says, when One realises the fleeting and unpredictable nature of life, there is a feeling of urgency to do something. In this state of mind there is an inclination of overdoing things.  Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, just like heating an already cooked food spoils it's taste, overdoing the worship remains only a ritual and takes One nowhere.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, practicing devotion is doing the right thing at right time, for none other but the rare human birth is the most auspicious occasion to seek Liberation, the freedom from bondage of repeated sufferings. "
