II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

काहे रोवे आगले मरना I
गंव्हार तू भला आपना II
केले मालूम नहि पडे I
नन्हे बडे गये सो II
बाप भाई लेखा नहि I
पाछे तू हि चलनार II
काले बाल सोपत भये I
खबर पकडो तुका कहे II


"In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, life is not lost by dying, but with each passing moment while we are alive, in countless uncaring ways of ignoring the true purpose of this rare human birth, the Self Quest. And therefore he says, lament not for the dead, for you may be the next.
He says, day after day countless people die. Yet the living wish to live forever, for they live life headless of this certainty, unmindful of the stark reality that it is temporal and our stay here is just for few numbered days.
He says, think about it, look at it, for your death is born with you, you cannot escape it just like so many you knew couldn't.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, its not that your black hair have turned white suddenly, for lot of water has gone under the bridge. Wake up he says, let thought of inevitable death help you make most of whatever little time is left of this precious human birth, for when there is a will, there is a way."
