II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
हमामा रे पोरा हमामा रे I
हमामा घालितां थकले पोर I
करी येरझार चौऱ्यांशीचा II
पहिले पहारा रंगाशी आले I
सोहं सोहंसे वार घेतले I
देखोनि गडी ते विसरले I
डाई पडिले आपणचि II
दुसऱ्या पहारा महाआनंदे I
हमामा घाली छंदछंदे I
दिस वाढे तो गोड वाटे I
परी पुढे नेणे पोर काय होते ते II
तिसऱ्या पहारा घेतला वार I
अहंपणे पाय न राहे स्थिर I
सोसें सोस करितां डाई पडसी I
सत्य जाणे हा निर्धार II
चौथ्या पहारा हमामा I
घालिसी कांपविती हातपाय I
सुऱ्या पाटीलाचा पोर यम I
त्याचे पडसील डाई रे II
हमामा घालितां भ्याला तुका I
त्याने सांडिली गड्याची सोई I
यादवाचा मूल एक विठोबा I
त्यासवे चारितो गाई रे II
"Hamama is a kind of sport. Analogizing it with the mundane existence of living for the sake of living, in the ignorance of the true purpose of the rare human birth, Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, since the time immemorial, the seeker of Self Quest has become a victim to the game of deception played by his "I am the body" idea, for this ignorance became the root cause of his repeated sufferings.
To elucidate this he exemplifies with the four stages in the journey of life.
The first stage is of an unborn child. He says, in the womb of mother, the soul is aware of its Oneness with GOD and pulsates with the Soham Soham Sound or "I am He", " I am He". But it forgets everything as soon as birth takes place, for then it is in the firm grip of Maya, the Mistress of Illusion.
He says, then comes the stage of Childhood, full of innocence and unadulterated happiness, because the child doesn't know rejection, hasn't seen denial and knows no boundaries. He says, though innocence is truly a Grace of GOD, the childhood is a short season.
He says, the third stage is of Youth when the false ego sense grows as One becomes conscious of his looks and his body becomes object of his dreams. Unless One makes a conscious effort, there is no way out from the vicious circle of sense gratification.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, the fourth and last stage is of Old Age when One starts feeling unsure of himself, for it is just a matter of time for the worn out body to crumble and fall prey to death.
Realising the futility of living with this aimless pursuit, he wishes to cease playing this Hamama. He says, if senses are cattles, he wishes to take them for grazing in a lush green pasture in the company of GOD Vithoba. In other words he aspires to follow the path of renunciation from worldliness and let his senses dwell in the Name Worship of GOD Vithoba, to be in the world but not of the world."
