मृगजळ दिसे साचपणा ऐसें । खोटियाचें पिसें ऊर फोडी ।।१।।
जाणोनि कां
करा आपुलाले घात । विचारा रे हित लवलाहीं ।।२।।
संचित
सांगातीं बोळवणें सवें । आचरलें द्यावें फळ तेणें ।।३।।
तुका म्हणे
शेखी स्मशान तोंवरी । संबंध गोवरी आगी सवें ।।४।।

govaree agee save.
Translation
This world is a crazy place as revealed to the
enlightened vision of the saints. In this Abhang Saint Tukaram is lamenting
about the material world man who believes that this world is real and keeps
cracking his head in doing useless things (from spiritual point of view).
1. A mirage is
unreal. Still, deer chase it till they get exhausted.
2. My dear
friends, why do you cause damage to your real Self, in spite of knowing this
truth that this world, including your body and family are as unreal as a
mirage? You ought to think urgently about what is good for you.
3. The actions which
we have done in the past (our past accumulated karmas) are taking us along a
set path, in accordance with the karmas. It takes us on that path till death
and sends us to the next stage. In other words, we reap as we sow
4. Tuka say, it
is important to keep in mind that in the end this body will reach the
crematorium and it will end by coming in contact with fuel and fire. Therefore,
one must uplift himself spiritually before that. (One must use the time
available at hand to progress spiritually).
