II श्रीराम जय राम जय  जय राम II

आलिया संसारा उठा वेग करा I
शरण जा उदारा पांडुरंगा II
देह हे काळाचे धन कुबेराचे I
तेथे मनुष्याचे काय आहे II
देता देवविता नेता नेवाविता I
येथे याची सत्ता काय आहे II
निमित्याचा धनी केला असे प्राणी I
तुका म्हणे म्हणोनि व्यर्थ गेला II

"Life asked death, 'Why do people love me but hate you?' Death responded 'Because you are a Beautiful Lie and I am a Painful Truth.'
In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj implores all born humans to wake up from deep slumber of ignorance, for Liberation from unending cycle of deaths and rebirths is possible only in this rare human birth. He says, transformation happens on the other side of wholehearted surrender to GOD. He furthers saying that the ignorance of "I am what my body is" is the root cause of all sufferings. He says, all that is matter is doomed to perish and this body to which we mistakenly identify as ourselves is no exception to it.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, man may amass immense wealth and riches of the world but feels vulnerable when he sees his body succumbing to aging as time goes by. Often in the frenzy of life man gets carried away with the notion that he is the doer, when he is nothing but a puppet in the hands of fate whose strings are seldom seen.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, just like a man playing the role of a King in a drama disrobes as soon as the play is over, all the world is a stage, and all the men and women are merely players having their exits and their entrances. He says, just like in a drama, timing of actor matters most than merely the length of his role, One must make every moment count in his rare human birth to attain the highest reward, the Liberation."
