II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

जळते संचित I

ऐसी आहे धर्मनीत II

माझ्या विठोबाचे पाय I

वेळोवेळां मनी ध्याय II

नेदी कर्म घडो I

कोठे आडराने पडो II

तुका म्हणे मळ I

राहो नेदी ताप जाळ II

"In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, contact with 'Hari Naam' at once reduces to ashes the storehouse of Sanchit Karma, the good or bad deeds that stand to man's credit as earned in all the previous existences in the order of creation, just as a spark of fire reduces to ashes an entire forest. In other words just like the seed grains fried in a pan get puffed up and hence lose their fecundity or power to bear fruit, the Sanchit Karma can be seared and scorched with the fire of 'Hari Naam' and hence rendered harmless for the future. And therefore he says, waste not a moment of this rare human birth without constant contemplation of His Feet, for the quality of harvest depends on the quality of the seeds sown.

Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, the sweet remembrance of 'Hari Naam' cleanses the mirror of mind making all the doubts and distractions disappear, for it alone can transform sinners to saints."
