II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
विषमाची चिंता वाटे I
सारिखे भेटे तरी सुख II
म्हणऊनि चोरिले जना I
आल्या राना एकांती II
दुजियासी कळो नये I
जया सोय नाही हे II
तुका म्हणे मोकळे मन I
नारायण भोगासी II
It is said that "Solitude is more than a place. It is a sacred space for GOD and man to dwell, joined heart to heart."
In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj talks about solitude and contemplative silence which is the journey of the soul into an eternal destination with the Divine. He says, only in contemplative prayer we experience GOD's presence within us, closer than breathing, closer than thinking and closer than the consciousness itself.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj has illustrated this thought with the beautiful analogy of cow-herd girls in Vrindavan, who exemplify the highest form of unconditional and unwavering love for Lord Krishna. He says, the cow-herd girls remain absorbed in the deep meditation of GOD, for only in solitude their stirs the feeling of infinite where we are least alone.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, worship of GOD is a dialogue with Self and need to be done in silence, for GOD's first language is silence. Everything else is a poor translation. In order to hear that language, we must learn to be still and to rest in GOD. He says, One must practice the Name Worship of GOD silently, seeking solitude of mind and consciously refrain from doing its pompous display, for nothing in all creation is so like GOD as Stillness."
