II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

प्रपंच परमार्थ संपादीन दोन्ही I
एकही निदानी न घड़े त्यासी II
दोही पेवांवरी ठेवूं जाता हात I
होय अपघात शरीराचा II
तुका म्हणे तया दोहींकडे धका I
शेवटी तो नरकामाजी पड़े II

"In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj talks about the impossibility of pursuing Self Quest while living a worldly life of materialistic perspective. He says, this is because the worldly life revolves around Attachment while the journey of Self Realisation is about inculcating the sense of living in the world but not of the world.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, every creation has three qualities, Sattva, Raja and Tama whose proportion may vary. He says, Raja quality denotes motion, energy, action and passion, all things that make the worldly life sensational. Ignorance is the root cause of Tama quality because of which the rare human birth is wasted on frivolous material pursuits. In contrast to this, Sattva quality denotes harmony, feelings of goodness, contentment and forgiveness which make One an aspirant for Liberation.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, just like joy is something entirely different from pleasure, so different are the Self Quest and living worldly life. He says, Renunciation is not renunciation of wealth or renouncing the home. A conscious annihilation of One's inclination of holding on is True Renunciation."
