 II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II


नाही शब्दाधीन वर्म आहे दूरी I
नव्हे तंत्री मंत्री अनुभव तो II
हर्षामर्षि अंगी आदळती लाटा I
कामक्रोधे तटा सांडियेले II
न सरे ते भक्ति विठोबाचे पायी I
उपरति नाही जेथे चित्ता II
तुका म्हणे सुख देहनिरसने I
चिंतन चिंतने तद्रुपता II

"Even though the Scriptures repeatedly remind us that everything is but One Divine Consciousness, we still live holding dear "I am the body" idea. This along with ignorance of One's True Nature is the cause of worldly sorrows. The deluded mind is the creator of subject-object relationship. It is the cause of duality. It is the deluded mind to whom happiness and sufferings exist. Every material joy is a suffering in disguise. So long as we take refuge in the worldly mind we suffer. The moment One realises his True Self, the suffering ends. The Spiritual Wisdom attained by reciting Holy Ram Nam only can remove the poisonous fangs of mind serpent so that serpent still remaining serpent, does not pose any danger to Snake Charmer.
 It is said that, "All things are only a projection of a level of Conscious Awareness and are never ' Personal '."
The very 'isness', or 'beingness' or 'amness' of all life is radiant with the ineffable love of Consciousness and existence. In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj talks about taking a leap of faith into Nonduality through incessant recital of Holy Ram Nam. 
He says, the body is not who we truly are. Existence is infinitely beyond form, because all form will pass, but life itself is Eternal and Formless. The Self awaits within every moment to be noticed and realised, it is only the ego's resistance that keeps ecstasy from being actualized.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, the mark of the genuine seeker of the Truth is One who possesses the conviction and strength to pursue the surrender of attachments of ego  in order to discover the full Liberation of the Immortal Self. Not by words, not by rituals, not by chanting mantras, but only by transcending beyond "I am the body" idea, One can seek the God Consciousness.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says,  no one can stop the waves of worldly sufferings but One can surely learn to surf these inevitable waves only by practicing the Name Worship of Holy Ram Nam,  because rather than escaping our fears, stresses and sufferings, sitting nonjudgementally as a silent observer is a beautiful way to paddle through, slowly but steadily on the journey of Self Realisation. "
