II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

देव राखे तया मारील कोण I
न मोड़े काटा हिंडता वन II
न जळे न बुडे नव्हे काही I
विष तेही अमृत पाही II
न चुके वाट न पड़े फंदी I
नव्हे कधी यमबाधा II
तुका म्हणे नारायणा I
येता गोळ्या वारी बाण II

"It is said that "He who dwells in the shelter of GOD will rest in His shadow and no harm will befall him."
In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj talks about the Blessed, protected by umbrella of GOD's love and to whom no evil happens, for if GOD is with us then who can be against us?
Illustrating with beautiful analogies Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, a Blessed will be saved from thorn in his foot despite walking on the thorny path. Neither he can be immolated nor will he get drowned. The poison fed to the Blessed will become a nectar of immortality by GOD's Grace. He may deviate from his path temporarily but GOD will save him from getting lost. The Blessed, who is free from the bondage of "I am the body" idea has consciously eradicated his ignorance and hence is beyond the realm of unending cycle of deaths and rebirths. GOD shields him from the arrows and bullets fired by his enemies.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, we have but one saviour, and that saviour is Supreme Lord Narayan. Nothing that we are and nothing that we can do makes any sense. Only GOD does it all. He says, GOD doesn't give us what we can handle, but He helps us handle what we are given."
