II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

काय धोविले कातड़े I
कालकूट भीतरी कूड़े II
उगा राहे लोकभांडा I
चाळविल्या पोरे रांडा II
घेसी बुंथी पानवथां I
उगाच हालविसी माथा II
लावूनी बैसे टाळी I
मन इंद्रियें मोकेळी II
हालवित बैसे माळा I
विषयजप वेळोवेळा II
तुका म्हणे हा व्यापार I
नाम विठोबाचे सार II

It is said that ,
" If by immersion in water, salvation can be attained, the frogs who bathe continually would attain it surely. As the frogs, so are the mortals who fall into the womb again and again. "
When the mind is filthy, everything is filthy. By washing the body, the mind is not cleansed. In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj exposes the folly of emphasis of external cleanliness as a religious ritual. He says,
For most of us the bodily cleansing tends to be misconstrued as necessary and sufficient, thus presenting a slippery slope descending us down to a point where the need for cleansing from within seems to be entirely irrelevant. Such trickery of the deluded and ego centric mind is detrimental on the journey of Self Realisation. So long the mind is in the grip of doubt, worry and scepticism which are born out of our body centric thinking, it is rendered filthy.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj cautions One of the people who take a Divine to be a play thing, who hold rosary in their hands and wear religious robes. He says that all these external body garbs, symbols and other paraphernilia are nothing but a pompous show thus elevating the false ego sense. Such an imposter, being a hypocrite to the core, creates a facade of being in deep meditation. No matter how much he pretends, the Lord knows everything and is aware of the innermost secrets so as not to fall for his tricks.
Only the incessant Name Worship of the Supreme Lord  Vitthal helps One to  merge his body consciousness into Infinite Consciousness slowly but steadily, thereby cleansing the filth of mind by the Love of Divine Name. "
