II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

थडीयेसी निघतां I
पाषाणाच्या सांगडी I
बुडतां मध्यभागी I
तेथे कोण घाली उडी II
न करी रे तैसा आपआपणिया I
पतंग जाय वायां जीवे ज्योति घालूनियां II
सावधपणे सोमल वाटी भरोनिया प्याला I
मरणाअंती वैद्य बोलवितो वहिला II
तुका म्हणे करीं रे ठायींचाचि विचार I
जंव नाही पातला यमाचा किंकर II

"In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, conscious ignorance is like moths suicidal nosedive into the burning flames or crossing a river with a stone laden boat, likely to be drowned midway or like a man who willfully consumes poison and then calls for a doctor to save him.
He says, "We have all the time" suddenly becomes "Not enough time" when the death knocks on the door. And therefore wake up from the deep slumber of ignorance and do not let it overwhelm you.
He says, the moment of what is called "Today" is not permanent and therefore waste it not to fritter away in the state of laziness, but to seek Self Realisation, the crowning fruition of this rare human birth."
