II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

परमार्थी तो न म्हणावा आपुला I
सलगी धाकुला हळू नये II
थोड़ाचि स्फुलिंग बहुत दावाग्नि I
वाढता इंधनी वाढविला II
पितयाने तैसा वंदावा कुमर I
जयाचे अंतरा देव वसे II
तुका म्हणे शिरी वाहावे खापर I
भावी असे सार नवनीत II

"Since time immemorial, Self Realisation is the culmination of pursuing the path of Devotion earnestly through millions of births. It is then no surprise that, just like Devotee Pralhad, One becomes a Self Realised Soul in very young age.
In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, the distinction of age, gender and social hierarchy are irrelevant when it comes to practicing devotion to Lord Supreme. No matter how old or how young One is, if he displays Selfless Devotion in his quest of God, he must be revered. Just like a spark is enough to become a forest fire, a devotee with his courage of conviction may attain Self Realisation at very young age.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, One must bow down with reverence to the Self Realised Soul who may even be his son. This respect is for the Eternal Supreme Self or God, which his son has become and not for the body of son which is perishable.
For a butter in a broken piece of a clay pot, the butter is substantial as compared to the piece of clay pot. It is the "Valuation" aspect of butter that distinguishes it from the piece of clay pot. Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, in the quest of Self Knowledge, One must give paramount importance to "Valuation". Unless this is done there is all possibility of giving undue importance to trivial things which may actually deviate us from our journey of Self Realisation.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, only with  proper "Valuation" and not by mere bodily aspects such as age, gender and social status, we can distinguish a Self Realised Soul who is the most revered of all."
