II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

काय करतील केली नित्य पापे I
वसे नाम त्यापे विठोबाचे II
तृणी हुताशन लागला ते रासी I
जळतील तैसी क्षणमात्रे II
विष्णूमूर्तीपाद पाहतां चरण I
तेथे कर्म कोण राहू शके II
तुका म्हणे नाम जाळी महादोष I
जेथे होय घोष कीर्तनाचा II

"In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj talks about what it means to say that One is absolved of all his wrongdoings by doing the Name Worship of GOD Vithoba.
He says, the Name Worship of GOD doesn't give One a free hand to behave in excessive and unacceptable behaviour, but it saves him from wrongdoings if he remains absorbed in the Name Worship of GOD.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, in the day to day life, we may not be able to control every situation and its outcome, but what is in our hands is our perspective of looking at things, and what better way to cultivate a healthy perspective than remaining absorbed in the Name Worship of GOD, for it makes us live in the world but not of the world, thus making the probability of wrongdoings least
He says, just like not a blade of grass remains when it catches fire, the Name Worship of GOD takes away One's inclination of wrongdoings thus cultivating piousness from within."
