II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

दुडीवरी दुडी I
चाले मोकळी गुजरी II
ध्यान लागो ऐसे हरी I
तुज चरणी तैशापरी II
आवंतण्याची आस I
जैसी लागे दुर्बळास II
लोभ्या कळान्तराची आस I
बोटे मोजी दिवस मास II
तुका म्हणे पंढरीनाथा I
मजला आणिक नको व्यथा II

" In the humdrum of daily life, One has to subject himself to mundane activities which are unavoidable and time bound. Despite his obligations, it is much needed for the seeker of Supreme Self to inculcate from within a sense of detachment from worldly affairs. This is possible only when he becomes habitual to the Name Worship of Supreme Lord Shri Ram so much so that  the Holy Ram Nam emanates from him unknowingly and spontaneously even while doing his worldly duties. In other words his worldly living needs to be merged into his quest of knowing his True Self. In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj elucidates this thought. He says,
A woman is carrying on her head multiple pots of water neatly stacked one over the other. Irrespective of her free hands, she keeps a keen eye on the pots so that her balance is not lost. In the similar way Sant Tukaram Maharaj intends to keep an unwavering attention to the Name Worship of Supreme Lord Shri Ram despite being involved in doing his worldly chores.
With beautiful analogies Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, just like an impoverished eagerly awaits an invitation for food or a greedy moneylender remains absorbed in the thought of the interest he will earn on the money he has loaned, he earnestly implores the Divine Lord, to be intuitively absorbed in His meditation and contemplation ceaselessly.                                
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says that if we only attach ourselves with the Self within and detach from emotional attachment to worldliness then it is the most pragmatic way to Spiritual success. In other words, flying with both wings of matter and Spirit, we can soar to the vivid heights of subtlety."
