II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

नित्य मनासी करितो विचार I
तो हे अनावर विषयलोभी II
आता मज राखे आपुलिया बळे I
न देखे हे जाळे उगवतां II
सांपडला गळी नाही त्याची सत्ता I
उगळी मागुता घेतला तो II
तुका म्हणे मी तो आज्ञानची आहे I
परि तुझी पाहे वास देवा II

"This composition of Sant Tukaram Maharaj is his musing about the tug of war between what he is ought to do on his Self Quest and what his mind compells him to do.
He says, just like a fish swallows the hook of fishing rod in the lure of bait but is unable to disengage from it again, he is unable to detach his wandering mind from the clutches of Maya on his own.
He says, the propensity of mind is towards duality or two-ness which makes us understand the world and to make sense of it. But to turn it inward for the journey within is not possible without the Grace of God, for with it even a broken tree can bear fruit.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, seeking GOD with True Faith and Absolute Trust is the only way One can wean the mind away from its inherent nature of objectivity and externality and propel it towards the Divine."
