II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
लय लक्षी मन न राहे निश्चळ I
मुख्य तेथे बळ आसनाचे II
हें तों असाध्य जी सर्वत्र या जना I
भले नारायणा आळवितां II
कामनेचा त्याग वैराग्य या नांव I
कुटुंब तें सर्व विषयजात II
कर्म उसंतावे चालतां पाउली I
होय जंव राहिली देहबुद्धि II
भक्ति ते नमावे जीवजंतुभूत I
शांतवूनि ऊत कामक्रोध II
तुका म्हणे साध्य साधन अवघड I
देतां हे सांकडे देह बळी II
"It is said that when some Sages went to Maharshi Vyas to ask about which Yoga is most conducive to be fruitful in man's effort for Liberation, Maharshi Vyas anticipated their question and repeated to himself aloud " How fortunate are those destined to be born in KaliYug, for it is easy to win the Grace of GOD by His Name Worship in Kali Age."
In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj talks about efficacy of Name Worship of GOD over all the other means to attain Self Realisation. He says, body postures are of paramount importance in meditation through Yoga Practice. One needs years of practice to master one pointed concentration. Despite this not everyone pursuing it is successful in attaining it. He says, instead it is much easier to absorb Oneself in the Name Worship of GOD which needs nothing else but One's will to do it.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, True Renunciation is not dropping the possessions but possessiveness. If One renounces the world through failure, it is not renunciation, but renouncing the world through understanding is totally different. He says, renounce and still be here, be in the world but not of the world. It is like remaining in crowd and remaining alone. It's doing things but never be the doer.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, to walk on Karma Marga or Path of Action without selfish motives, One needs to be free from body consciousness which envelopes him as soon as he is born. He says, as a lotus flower is born in water, grows in water and rises out of water to stand above it unsoiled, so the seeker on his journey of Self Realisation needs to be born in the world, raised in the world, having overcome the world, living unsoiled by the world.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, within the body dwell the five thieves Lust, Anger, Greed, Attachment and Egotism. In order to subdue them, we must be able to recognize them. These are the great enemies and cause much suffering. Unless these dwellers are pushed out there will be no place for GOD to reside within. Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, GOD is everywhere in the world, but everyone cannot see Him. He says, True Devotion is seeing GOD in all beings, for closer we get to the Truth, the more we find worship welling up within us.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, except the Name Worship of GOD, on all the other paths to seek GOD, One's body needs to be subjected to hardships in some way or other which not everybody can withstand. He says, the Holy Ram Nam may appear but a monosyllable compared to the countless sins abound, but only it assures salvation to all, whether good or bad, learned or unlettered."
