II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

जोहार जी मायबाप जोहार I
सारा साधवया आलो वेसकर II
मागील पुढील करा झाडा I
नाही तरी खोडा घालिती जी II
फांकू नका रुजू झालिया वांचूनि I
सांगा जी कोणी धरिती धन्या II
आजी मायबाप करा तडामोडी I
उद्या कोण घडी राहेन हो II
तुका म्हणे कांही न चले ते बोली I
अखेर ते साली झाडा देती II

"This composition of Sant Tukaram Maharaj is the message of a Self Realised Soul to mankind, an urgent call to make most of this rare human birth, just like a minion of a Landlord warns the people working his fields regarding payment of what they owe to the master.
The minion says, my lord will be forced to subject you to the punishment if you do not pay the taxes. In other words, the unending cycle of deaths and rebirths will go on forever unless One becomes free from the Karmic Debt of the past and future.
The minion says, feel free to talk with my lord any time about your grievances but don't you avoid him. In other words confide in GOD of all that our heart speaks, for hope proceeds from faith just like plant from the seed.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, what was done in the past lives is already done. We cannot change it. But the present is very much in our hands and what we do today will shape our future. And therefore let not a moment pass without making a conscious effort so that there will be no repentance when death will knock on our door.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, just like a farmer pays to the Landlord to become free of his debt, we must adorn our lips with GOD Name at the very end, for it is the only way to become free from the Karmic Debt and therefore from the gruelling cycle of repeated sufferings."
