II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
पाषाण परिस भूमी जांबूनद I
वंशाचा संबंध धातयाचा II
सोनियाची पुरी समुद्राचा वेढा I
समुदाय गाढा राक्षसांचा II
ऐशी सहस्र त्या सुंदर कामिनी I
माजी मुखरणी मंदोदरी II
पुत्रपौत्रांचा लेखा कोण करी I
मुख्य पुत्र हरी इंद्रा आणी II
चौदा चौकडीया आयुष्यगणना I
बंधुवर्ग जाणा कुंभकर्ण II
तुका म्हणे ज्याचे देव बांदवडी I
सांगाते कवडी गेली नाही II
"We come in this world with empty hands and one day we will all die in the same way. No mattter how much power we may assume, how much wealth we may accumulate, or how much we are backed by powerful friends, in the end we are all alone and will leave the world empty handed."
Illustrating this thought with a beautiful analogy Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, Lanka, the seat of power of Mighty King Ravan, descendent of GOD Brahma, was made of Paras Stone, which transmutes metal into gold, and stood on the grounds abounding Jewel Jambunada. The city of Lanka was made of gold and was surrounded by sea and where lived Rakshasas, the beings of frightening appearance and size. Though there were eighy thousand beautiful women in his possession, Mandodari was the queen consort of King Ravan. He had countless sons, grand sons and great grand sons, but his eldest son Indrajeet got his name when he conquered heavens defeating GOD Indra.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, if Four Yuga's or Era's, Satya Yuva, Treta Yuga, Dwapara Yuga, Kali Yuga constitute one cycle, then King Ravan lived for fourteen such cycles, so long was his life. Support from his warrior brother Kumbhakarna of monstrous size increased his power multifolds.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, despite having so many riches, wielding so much power and having imprisoned 33 cores of Gods, he could take nothing with him in the end, for he came in this world alone and alone he departed, empty handed.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, only good deeds, thoughts and words accompany us forever. Only the prayers of others whose hearts we have touched with kindness and love will help our soul in the other worlds. Last but not the least he says, to live life in desire, no matter how much or how little you may have, is to live in lack. But to live life in gratitude, no matter how rich or poor you may be, is to live in genuine abundance."
