II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

देव होइजेत देवाचे संगती I
पतन पंगती जगाचिया II
दोहींकडे दोन्ही वाहातील वाटा I
करितील सांठा आपुलाला II
दाखविले परी नाही वर्जिजेता I
आला तो तो चित्ता भाग भरा II
तुका म्हणे अंगी आवडीचे बळ I
उपदेश मूळ बीजपात्र II

"In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, we are free to choose, but we are not free from the consequence of our choice, for Godliness comes to the One who puts GOD first while the downfall is inevitable for those who rely more on the world.
In other words, when we make people the basis of our confidence, we experience rejection and disappointment again and again. But when GOD becomes the ultimate source of our confidence, we are never let down.
He says, One moves higher or cast into the depths depending upon the fruits of good or evil which he brings with him from his past lives.
He says, though the faith will grow not by chance, but by choice, the True Longing for GOD speaks for itself and needs no counsel."
