II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

केला कहवाड संतांच्या आधारे I
अनुभवे खरे कळों आले II
काय जीवित्वाची धरुनिया आशा I
व्हावे गर्भवासा पात्र भेणे II
अबाळीने जावे निश्चिन्तिच्या ठायां I
रांडा रोटा वायां करू नव्हे II
तुका म्हणे बळी देतां ते निधान I
भिकेसाठी कोण राज्य देतो II

"This composition of Sant Tukaram Maharaj is about the wisdom dawned on him in the company of Spiritually Wise.
He says, nobody hands over an 'Extraordinary' on a silver platter, for One needs to get out of his comfort zone and do big Sacrifices to earn it. So is GOD Realisation, he says, which is not something to be pursued in the spare time while doing worldly chores, but One needs to make a conscious effort of offering the sense of "I, Me, Mine," to GOD as a Sacrifice. The Noble Sacrifice of giving up false ego sense is paramount for the Highest Reward, the GOD Realisation.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, life is short. No one knows when death will knock on the door. However One cares for his body, it is going to betray in the end, for the repeated sufferings are inevitable unless One dares to renounce "I am the body" idea.
He says, wasting this rare human birth for nurturing body consciousness is like living of a prostitute who earns her living by selling her body.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, just like a kingdom is never offered as alms, but the brave wins it by fighting fierce battles, GOD Realisation doesn't happen all of a sudden, One needs to pursue it wholeheartedly in countless lifetimes."
