II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

करावा कैवाड I

नाही तरी आला नाड II

स्मरा पंढरीचा देव I

मनी धरोनिया भाव II

खचविले काळे I

उगवा लवलाहे जाळे II

गजर नामाचा I

करा लवलाहे वाचा II

घरटी चक्रफेरा I

जन्ममृत्यूचा भोंवरा II

"This composition of Sant Tukaram Maharaj is his entreaty not to waste even a moment of this rare human birth without the Name Worship of GOD, for there is no greater worship than yearning for GOD.

He says, we must not rely much on our body with which we identify ourselves, for the countdown of its downfall has begun the moment we were born.

He says, it is up to us what we make of this precious privilege to be alive every morning, to breath, for every breath we take can be either a step forward towards death or our Liberation from the repeated sufferings.

And therefore he says, honour every moment of this precious human birth chanting 'Hari Naam' as much as possible, else there is no way out of the unending cycle of deaths and rebirths in which we are trapped since time immemorial."
