II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
पंचभूतांचा गोंधळ I
केला एके ठायीं मेळ I
लाविला सबळ I
अहंकार त्यापाठी II
तेथे काय नी ते माझे I
कोण वागवी हे ओझे I
देहा केवी रीझे I
हे काळाचे भातुके II
जीव न देखे मरण I
धरी नवी सांडी जीर्ण I
संचित प्रमाण I
भोग शुभा अशुभा II
इच्छा वाढवी ते वेल I
खूंटावा तो करा बोल I
तुका म्हणे मोल I
झांकले ते पावेल II
"As the famous saying goes "Our suffering comes from our attachment to people and things, our repeated attempts to find something lasting where there is nothing lasting to be found."
In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj talks about Karmic Cycle in which the unending cycle of deaths and rebirths happens due to attachment of desires left incomplete in past lives. He says, it is the attachment to desire, not desire itself, that is the underlying cause of all our pains and sufferings.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, our body is a made of mixture of five basic elements, Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether. As soon as One is born, he misconstrues the body as he when he is not. This is due to the spell of ignorance cast by Maya, the Cosmic Charmer which creates the illusion of "I am the body" idea, when in reality soul and body are entirely distinct entities. Despite the knowledge that the perishable body will eventually be swallowed by inevitable death, the powerful urge to identify Oneself with the body is very perplexing.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, just like One changes clothes, the Eternal Soul sheds the used body to assume the new one in the unending cycle of deaths and rebirths. He says, no Karma is without purpose, for it is fuelled always by some desire. He says, inculcating desirelessness from within is the only way to transcend the Duality of Attachment, for then only One can merge himself into Non Dual Supreme Consciousness.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, be it desires or attachment to desires, all happen due to "I am the body" idea which is the root cause of all sufferings.Doing things assuming that not he but only GOD is the Doer is other way of saying that he has become desireless, for self realisation no longer remains a dream for him."
