II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

आयुष्य गेले वयांविण I

थोर झाली नागवण II

आतां धांवाधांव करी I

काय पाहातोसी हरि II

माझे तुझे याचि गति I

दिवस गेले तोंडी माती II

मन वांव घेऊ नेदी I

बुडवू पाहे भवनदी II

पहिला विषयाचा घाला I

तेणे नागविले मला II

शरण आलों आतां धांवे I

तुका म्हणे मज पावें II

"In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, already lot of time of this rare human birth has wasted in ignorance. And therefore I earnestly implore You O'Lord to make haste and awaken me from the slumber of ignorance of "This is Mine" and "This is Yours" before it is too late.

He says, just like a monkey swinging through the trees grabing one branch and lettig it go to seize another, our mind is, for it is this fickleness of the mind that makes the repeated sufferings inevitable. In other words the mind is robbed of its inherent common sense by the five thieves Lust, Anger, Greed, Attachment and Ego.

Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, bestow upon me Your Grace O' Lord, for I humbly surrender and submit myself to You."
