II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

भूत भविष्य कळो याचे वर्तमान I
हे तो भाग्यहीन त्याची जोड़ी II
आम्ही विष्णुदासी देव घ्यावा चित्ते I
होणार ते होते प्रारब्धची II
जगरुढी साठी घातले दुकान I
जातो नारायण अंतरोनि II
तुका म्हणे हा हो प्रपंच गाढा I
थोरली ते पीड़ा रिद्धिसिद्धि II

"It is said that "The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion."
Selling the illusion in the city of blind or ignorant is easy. But those who do so, distance themselves from GOD, the Ultimate Reality.
In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj talks about the true devotee of Supreme Lord Vishnu, who believes that everything that happens in his present life is only due to Prarabdha Karma, a cumulative effect of actions in his past lives affecting his present life, which cannot be avoided or changed. And hence he remains beyond reach of those who sell GOD as a time bound merchandize.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, confining the Timeless GOD wirhin the sense of past, present and future, itself is ignorance and all suffering is caused by ignorance. He says, there is no greater sin than playing on the emotions of people, enticing them into false ritualistic practices, ultimately worshipping the illusion which doesn't exists."
