II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
जे जे जेथे पावे I
ते ते समर्पावे सेवे II
सहजपूजा याचि नांवे I
गळीत अभिमाने व्हावे II
अवघे भोगिता गोसावी I
आदी अवसानी जीवी II
तुका म्हणे सीण I
न धरिता नव्हे भिन्न II
"It is said that "GOD is the potter and the clay is Him too. I am just a wheel, spin me through"
In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj talks about Non Duality from the perspective that instead of considering GOD as the Doer he considers the Supreme indweller GOD Himself experiencing everything that happens in the life of beings.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, Self Realisation is not attaining anything novel. It is only removal of all camouflage, for "I am the body" idea or "I am the Doer" idea are greatest of them all. He says, just like a ripe fruit comes of its age, Prarabdha is ripe Karma with which One is born, to pay past debts. It is that which has begun and can only be exhausted by being experienced. Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, life is a full circle and Karma is a vicious circle. While the former is existing till One is alive, the later follows him even after death. And hence to stop the present Prarabdha culminating into Prarabdha of future births, One must assume that not he but GOD Himself experiences all that One goes through in his life so that he remains free from the Doership which may drag him otherwise on his journey of Self Realisation. He says, a sense of Non-Doership towards One's actions is Divine Worship of spontaneous kind, for it will happen only when he will make a conscious effort to break free from the bondage of "I am the body" idea.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, we are, each one of us, that Supreme Consciousness and the ignorance of "I am the Body" idea. If we can get rid of the Maya or Ignorance, then we become what we really are. He says, the world is a mixture of milk and water, the Supreme Bliss of GOD Consciousness and the pleasure of sense enjoyment. One needs to be a Swan and drink the milk, leaving the water aside, for who looks inside awakes."
