II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

कोडियाचे गोरेपण I
तसे अहंकारी ज्ञान II
त्यासी आता रिझे कोण I
जवळी जाता चिळसवाणे II
प्रेतदेहा गौरविले I
तैसे विटंबवाणे झाले II
तुका म्हणे खाणे विष्ठा I
तैशा देहबुद्धि चेष्टा II

" It is said that "Pride of worldly knowledge rots the mind."
In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj cautions us about Pride of materialistic knowledge, a great pitfall  to become conceited and haughty. He says,
Pride corrupts. It makes One lose his Sense of Discrimination (विवेक बुद्धि) and perception of Truth. The self imposed complacency of this temporal knowledge is so intimidating that One becomes blind to the Divine Virtue.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says,
Boastful arrogance of earthly knowledge is just like fairness of skin inflicted by depigmentation due to Vitiligo (कोड). One absorbed in " I am the body " idea is beyond reach, for the Spiritually Wise to convince him that eventually frittering away his life in pursuits will only distance him from Reality.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, just as grotesque it is to embellish a dead body, a self approving One makes his own mockery by pretending to know everything when he knows nothing.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says,
Identifying body with the Self is as repulsive as eating an excrement. If One ends in accumulating more material desires and body centric filth in One's life, it will cause the Spirit to be reflected again within another body pot and it will be impossible to breach the vicious circle of repeated sufferings. "
