II श्रीराम।जय राम जय जय राम II

सर्वां भूती द्यावे अन्न I
द्रव्य पात्र विचारुन I
उपतिष्ठे कारण I
तेथे बीज पेरीजे II
पुण्य करिता होय पाप I
दूध पाजोनी पोशिला साप I
करोनि अघोराचा जप I
दुःख विकत घेतले II
भूमी पाहता नाही वेगळी I
माळ वरड एके काळी I
उत्तम निराळी I
मध्यम आणि कनिष्ठ II
म्हणोनि विवेके I
काही करणे ते निके I
तुका म्हणे फिके I
रुची नेदी मिष्टान्न II

It is said that "You must learn who is GOLD and who is Gold Plated."
In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj talks about the paramount importance of understanding the worth, as it is the key for appropriate and thoughtful actions. He says, we all eat but we must be cautious while offering  food to others. More than offering, catering food  to the needy  matters most than catering it to the One who does not care, for GOD comes to the hungry in the form of food.
Illustrating with beautiful analogy Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, there is a thing about snakes that no matter how much you feed them milk, they will bite you in the last. In other words, the unthankful heart discovers no mercies.
He says, the earth is what we all have in common. All life depends upon soil. But every soil does not bear the same fruit.
Just like a tasteless delicacy, which is hardly relished by anyone, One must make a conscious effort of finding out of what he is doing and whether his actions are conducive to his ultimate goal, the Self Realisation.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, Mindfulness is not difficult. We just need to remember to do it."
