II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

दिनदीन शंका वाढे I

आयुष्य नेणवंतां गाढे II

कैसी भुलली बापुडी I

दंभविषयांचे साकडी II

विसरली मरण I

त्याची नाही आठवण I

देखत देखत पाही I

तुका म्हणे आठव नाही II

"In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, what never fails to astonish is that no matter countless succumb to death all around, man lives as if he is immortal.

He says, it is not that we have a short time to live in this precious and rare human birth, but that we waste a lot of it chasing frivolous material pursuits, thus squandering an irreplaceable opportunity.

He says, rather than living in fear of it, we must use death as a motivation, for when we keep death on our minds, we can focus on what truly matters. It is up to us to become grounded in death to make most of this rare human birth, a unique opportunity for GOD Realisation.

Summing up sant Tukaram Maharaj says, it is high time for us to prepare our minds as if we'd come to the very end of life. Let us postpone nothing, for One who puts the finishing touches on his life each day is never short of time."
