II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

निंदा स्तुती करवी पोट I
सोंग दाखवी बोभाट II
जटा राख विटंबना I
धीर नाही क्षमा मना II
शृंगारिले मढे I
जीवेविण जैसे कूड़े II
तुका म्हणे रागे I
भलते चावळे वाउगे II

"It is said that "He who is slave to his stomach seldom worships GOD."
In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj talks about a religious hypocrite whose GOD is not yet known. All his endeavors, be it cheating or praising, are aimed at satisfying his earthly needs and nothing more. He says, a hypocrite madly in love of "I am the body" idea may walk around with his long hair hanging in wild abandonment and ash rubbed all over his body. He may cheat others by pretending to be an ascetic, being unaware that wearing a mask of what he are not, he is subjecting his body to shameful mutilation.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, religious discourses by a hypocrite who is bereft of courage and compassion are as disgusting as embellishing a corpse by ornaments.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, One enticed in the web of hypocrisy forgets that his angry ramblings will soon expose his true nature, for pretention is a very short lived phenomenon."
