II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

जायांचे अंगुले लेता नाही मान I
शोभा नेदी जन हांसविले II
घुसळीता ताक कांडिता भूस I
साध्य नाही क्लेश जाती वाया II
तुका म्हणे नाही स्वता भांडवल I
भिकेचे ते फ़ोल बीज नव्हे II

"It is said that "We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others, that in the end, we become disguised to ourselves."
In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj talks about hypocrisy which gets offended by Truth. He says, wearing a mask wears One out. The most exhaustive activity is pretending to be what you know you aren't.
Illustrating with beautiful analogies he says, the flaunting display with hired jewellery doesn't last much longer because people can see right through it and know the Truth.
In another analogy he says, One gets nothing by churning buttermilk, for all facades fall sometime, the mask comes off and the real heart is exposed.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, Worship can never be mere performance, something One pretends. It is about getting personal with GOD, for GOD cannot bless who you pretend to be."
