II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
अवघ्या वाटा झाल्या क्षीण I
कळी न घड़े साधन I
उचित विधि विधान I
न कळे न घड़े सर्वथा II
भक्ति पंथ बहु सोपा I
पुण्य नागवे या पापा I
येणे जाणे ख़ेपा I
येणेचि एके खंडती II
उभारोनि वाहे I
विठो पालवित आहे I
दासा मीच साहे I
मुखे बोले आपुल्या II
भाविक विश्वासी I
पार उतरिले त्यांसी I
तुका म्हणे नासी
कुतरक्याचे कपाळी II
" In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj talks about journey of Self Realisation in Kali Yuga, the age of darkness or decadence in which we now live.
The age of Kali - Kali Yug is the last of four stages that the world goes through as part of its cycle of existence. It is believed that time is cyclical and the Four Yuga's are similar to the Four Seasons that keep recurring in perpetual eternity. In each successive Yuga, SATYA to TRETA to DWAPAR to KALI, all human virtues, such as age, honesty, values, keep getting diminished. Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, in Kali Yug, the age of Downfall, Atheism (नास्तिकवाद) flourishes. Religious observances are performed solely for the sake of reputation or merely as a procedural duty. False doctrines spread randomly. People prefer to remain in ignorance and hence hold false ideas instead of finding the root cause of all sufferings.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, in Kali Yug the worship of God is confined mostly to ritualistic boundaries. The Piousness and Truthfulness of the person performing the rituals is paramount for their effectiveness. It is believed that chanting prayer to Rain God (पर्जन्य्सूक्त) is a old rain invoking ritual and dates back to times of Vedic Scriptures. The Vedic Rishis were Self Realised Souls who had direct intuitive perception of Bramha or the Truth. With their intense meditation and knowledge of Eternal Truth, their words had the power to invoke Rain God for thunder showers. However in Kali Yug, to do so is nothing less than a myth.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, even though we are born in the Age of Darkness, we are fortunate to have been born in time when devotion to Supreme Lord Shri Ram still prevails in the hearts of masses. Since time immemorial the Scriptures have mentioned that it is much simpler to attain Self Realisation in this Kali Yug than in other ages, where all One needs to do is remember his Name, the Holy Ram Nam. One can get deliverance from the cycle of death and rebirth only through the Name Worship of Supreme Lord Shri Ram.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, in Kali Yug the Name Worship of Supreme Lord Shri Ram is the only respite to attain Self Realisation. It works it's miracle without getting trapped in the boundaries of sins and virtues. It is the best way to go beyond the realm of repeated sufferings.The Supreme Lord embraces every devotee surrendering to him with utmost devotion unconditionally.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, fortunate is the One who is conscious of his ephemeral existence and hence wishes to do everything possible to make this rarest of rare human birth fruitful on his journey of Self Realisation. "
