 II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II


शेवटासी जरी आले I

तरी झाले आंधळे II

स्वहिताचा लेश नाही I

दगड कांही अंतरी II

काय परिसासवे भेटी I

खपरखुंटी झालिया II

तुका म्हणे अधम जन I

अवगुणची वाढवी II


In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj  says, countless die all around everyday, yet One who is blinded by ignorance feels it is not about him, for he wastes his rare human birth chasing frivolous material pursuits rather than seeking the Self Realisation, the true purpose of his existence.

 Illustrating with beautiful analogy he says, the mythological 'Paras Stone' transforms an ordinary metal into precious gold but unable to work the  miracle on the broken piece of a clay pot. Similarly even the rare human birth will be useless if One lacks the awareness of its importance in the journey of Self Realisation.

Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, just like man becomes what he thinks, an ignorance breeds ignorance."


II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
