II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
मायेचा मारिला अंगी नाही घाव I
दुःखे तरी लव धड़धडी II
न लभे हा काळ न सुटे हातींचा I
न बोलवे वाचा वेडावली II
न पवे धावणे न पवेची लाग I
न लगेची माग धरावया II
भेणे तरि अंगा लावियेल्या राखा I
परी त्यासी वाखा करीतसे II
तुका म्हणे नेदी हाका मारूं देवा I
लोकांपाठी हेवा लाविलासे II
"World is an illusion" doesn't mean that what we experience doesn't exists. The material world we live in is called Maya, a Cosmic Illusion, for what we believe it to be, it is not like that. It is anything like worldly possessions or worldly relations that makes One forgetful of his True Nature is Maya. In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj talks about Maya, an imagination of conditioned mind that never ends and never exists. He says, whipping hard all over the body, the skin feels like it is on fire even if there are no marks of lashing left behind. Similarly though the ignorance of "I am the body" idea engrosses One's worldly life in entirety, he knows that nothing is in his hands, for he is merely a puppet in the hands of destiny.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, Maya neither can be comprehended nor can be figured out in its totality. It cannot be perceived in its entirety by any limited point of view. He says, Maya creates Duality in our mind. The only way to be free from its bondage is yearning for Spiritual Wisdom, for only the Spiritually Wise who has transcended the realm of Duality knows of its secret.
Often ashes are rubbed on the body to protect One from all fears. Here Sant Tukaram Maharaj has illuminated with a great paradox. He says, Fear Of Something implies Two-ness which is in itself an illusion, a trick of Maya, the pretention of That Which Is Not.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, Maya encompasses our whole existence, for only with intense longing for GOD and mental fortitude we may free ourselves from the unending cycle of deaths and rebirths and from the forgetfulness of our True Self."
