II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

अधिकार तैसा करू उपदेश I
साहे ओझे त्यास तेंचि द्यावे II
मुंगीवरी भार गजाचे पालाण I
घालिता ते कोण कार्यसिद्धी II
तुका म्हणे फांसे वाघुरा कुऱ्हाडी I
प्रसंगी ते काढी पारधी तो II

"In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, he intends to advice the seeker on his Self Quest according to his individual capacity, for nothing fruitful can be accomplished if One burdens himself beyond that it can bear.
Illustrating this with a beautiful analogy Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, it will be as improper as draping an ant with the saddle cloth or jhool which is used to embellish an elephant.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, just like a hunter who uses a spear, a noose and a net to set the trap, makes their choice according to the their need in different circumstances, so are the Teachings of the Saints which help One to adopt the means conducive to his Self Quest which can help him on his journey of Self Realisation."
