II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

ऋणाच्या परिहारा झालो वोळगणा I
द्यावी नारायणा वासलाती II
झालो उतराई शरीरसंकल्पे I
चूको द्यावी पापे सकळही II
आजिवरी होतो धरूनि जीवासी I
व्याजे कासाविसी बहू केले II
तुका म्हणे मना आणिली म्यां भाव I
तुमचा तेथे ठाव आहे देवा II

"In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, the true purpose of this rare human birth is the quest of our True Self which is possible only when we will become free from the burden of "I am the body" idea. This burden is like a debt which One must repay to become free from the obligation of endless cycle of deaths and rebirths.
He implores GOD Narayan to reckon for his becoming GOD's humble servant to be free of this debt.
O' GOD Narayan, he says, please absolve me of all my wrong doings through your blessings, for I have transcended "I am the body" idea and become One with You.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, if "I am the body" idea is the debt, then "I am the Doer" idea is the interest on it, which has accumulated in the Sanchit Karma since time immemorial and hence unless One consciously replaces "I am the Doer" idea with "Only GOD is the Doer" idea, there is no way to halt the constant refilling of Sanchit Karma basket and hence end his repeated sufferings.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, "I am the body" idea is transcended only when the body becomes home for GOD only, the Supreme Indweller."
