When Sant Tukaram said to his mighty he wants a rebarth for Bhati! Do you accept Sant Tukaram?

Question

Sant Tukaram wanted a rebarth to be bhakth he dint want a Moksha.

Answer 1

In India, there have been many examples where selfless devotees refused Nirvana so that they can serve the people better. Sant Tukaram is one such example. On parallel lines Maharshi Chyavan said that he was ready to surrender kingship, rebirth, paradise and even Nirvana for the wish of ending the pain and sufferings of all the creatures.

Answer 2

The said Sant Tukaram may not be so known and famous enough that the esteemed participants of this forum should know him. There are millions of such sants and saints all around the world and none can count them. They might have lived pious & righteous lives but none prays or worships them as God nor follows them treating sacred.

Answer 3

Moksha (Liberation) means losing ones identity and being free from the cycle of births and deaths. It is uniting with the supreme personality ( Krishn ) for all the times. So he loses the sense of feeling pleasure or pain. He is non dual. He ceases to exist.

Bhakti (Devotion) means keeping ones identity in tact and feel the immense and ever increasing pleasure of witnessing Radha Krishn's pastimes with Gopis. It is worshipping in dualism. You remain and you serve God which gives you infinite pleasure for eternity. You can come back to this world in body form also whenever Krishn wants that. So what you are today can continue, with divine bliss added.

Sant Tukaram was a Krishn Bhakt and wanted not to lose his identity to Moksha. We should revere Him and pray that a soul like him may come and grace us.
