II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

जरा कर्णमुळी सांगो आली गोष्टी I
मृत्याचिये भेटी जवळी आली II
आता माझ्या मना होई सावधान I
ॐपुण्याची जाण कार्यसिद्धि II
शेवटींल घड़ी बुडता न लगे वेळ I
साधाया तो काळ जवळी आला II
तुका म्हणे चिंति कुळीची देवता I
वारावा भोंवता शब्द मिथ्या II

"In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, old age is a final wake up call to jolt us from deep slumber of worldly attachments so that whatever time remains can be used to make this rare human birth fruitful. He says, white hair of old age whisper in our ear of the coming old age, a forewarning of the death which is nearby and inevitable.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj alerts One of the impending collapse when death will knock on the door, for then nothing can be done even if One regrets. Hence he implores the Old One to absorb himself in the Name Worship of GOD, for nothing is lost if there is a genuine realisation of what needs to be done urgently to make this precious human birth worthwhile. He says, nothing lasts forever and this body to whom we mistakenly identify as ourselves will disappear as if it never existed. Hence One must do Name Worship of GOD every moment he lives as if it is his last.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, the relevance of worldly relations and worldly possessions is lost as soon as One dies. He says, intuitively absorbing in the Name Worship of GOD is the only way One can inculcate detachment from within, else there is no way out of the vicious circle of repeated sufferings forever. "
