II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
धोंडयासवे आदळीता फूटे डोके I
तो तो त्याच्या दुःखे घामेजेना II
इंगळासी सन्निधान अतित्यार्ह I
क्षेम देतां काई सुख वाटे II
सप्रेमें कुरवाळी महाफणी व्याळ I
आपुली ते ढाळ जावू नेदी II
तुका म्हणे आम्हांसवे जो रुसला I
तयाचा अबोला आकाशासी II
"It is said that "Just as there is no division between a wave and ocean or a pot and clay, there is no division between an individual being and the Supreme Consciousness. The separateness appears to exist only due to the ignorance of the mind identifying itself as a different entity."
In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj talks about this Spiritual Ignorance which is the root cause of all our sufferings. He says, living the ignorance of "I am the body" idea, being aware of its futility, is an unpardonable sin because only in this rare human birth One has a chance of Liberation from the unending cycle of deaths and rebirths.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj has illustrated the futility of living with ignorance with beautiful analogies. He says, a stone doesn't reciprocate with feelings if One smashes his head on it, similarly One gets nothing by holding dearly the "I am the body" idea, for the body is destined to perish as time goes by.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, just like holding the fire with bare hands will burn the hands or venomous snake will not forget of its true nature even if One fondles it with love, "I am the body" idea will do its damage, for the inevitability of repeated sufferings will then be forever sealed.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, real knowledge is to know the extent of One's ignorance, for not ignorance but living with ignorance is the death of knowledge."
