II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

करितां होया होय चित्तचि नाही I
घटापटा काही करू नये II
मग हाळतची नाही जवळून I
करावा तो सीण सीणवितो II
साहतची नाही काही पांकुळले I
उगल्या उगले ढळत आहे II
तुका म्हणे तरी बोलावे झांकून I
येथे खुणे खूण परतेचि II

"Be still, quiet and patient. There is only you. How can there be a distance between you and you ?"
In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, the journey of Self Realisation is about cultivating awareness of what is going on in our bodies, in our feelings and in our minds, for when GOD finds One ready, he acts and overflows into him just as when the air is clear and pure, the sun overflows into it and cannot refrain from doing that.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, instead of delving deep in the study of Vedic Scriptures, let the mind be cultivated to be stock still, for when One resides in such stillness, GOD he is seeking will surely find him.
He says, nothing in all creation is so like GOD as stillness, for we don't have to go anywhere to obtain the Truth. We only need to be still and things will reveal themselves only in the still water of our heart. He says, all that moves exhausts itself eventually, only that which is still is Eternal.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, only when the mind is still, the Truth gets a chance to be heard in the purity of silence.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, in Self Quest One must seek advice from only the Truly Wise, for only he recognises a diamond in rough, someone who needs smoothing."
