II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
विचा केला ठोबा I
म्हणोनि नांव तो विठोबा II
कां रे नेणां त्याचे नांव I
काय वेदासी नाही ठावे II
शेष स्तुती प्रवर्तला I
जिव्हा चिरुनि पलंग झाला II
तुका म्हणे सत्ता I
ज्याची काळाचिये माथां II
"Name and Named are but One, just like Light cannot be separated from the Sun. The All Pervading Formless GOD is beyond the grasp of mortals, still man has, through ages, endeavored to clothe Him with epithets. But all goes in vain, for it is impossible to name the Infinite through limited perspective of we humans. This composition of Sant Tukaram Maharaj is about Name of GOD Vithoba, much talked about, but rarely pondered over about what the Name actually implies.
In an effort to construe the nuances of Name of GOD 'Vithoba', Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, 'Vi' stands for 'Vid' which implies Wisdom, which is envisaged in the 'Form' by the words 'Sot'. In other words the Name of GOD Vithoba is the Manifest Form of Eternal Truth Unmanifested.
In another way Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, 'Vi' implies Duality and 'thoba' is its annihilation. In other words, GOD Realisation is possible only when One transcends beyond the realm of ignorance of Duality, the 'I am the body' idea.
In still another attempt Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, 'Vi' stands for an Iconic Eagle Garuda and 'thoba' stands for 'Mounting Base'. In other words GOD Vithoba is but other name of GOD Vishnu whose vehicle mount is Garuda.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, Scriptures since time immemorial have propounded that One can cleanse the mirror of mind only through Name Worship of GOD. He says, Shesh or Sheshnag, the King of Snakes, who holds all the planets of universe on his hoods, is an ardent devotee of GOD Vishnu. Singing the glories of GOD Vishnu ceaselessly however teared his tongue and hence Shesh became the bed on which GOD Vishnu reclines, to have a constant companionship with the Named, the Supreme Lord Vishnu..
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, meditating on GOD Vithoba is a panacea of all ills. He says, Name Worship of GOD Vithoba is like a lifebuoy, the only way to transcend the ocean of death forever."
