II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

कण भुसाच्या आधारे I
परि ते निवडिता बरे II
काय घोंघाणी पाघाणी I
ताकामध्ये घोटी लोणी II
सुईणीपुढे चेटा I
काय लपविसी चाटा II
तुका म्हणे ज्ञान I
दिमाकाची भनभन II

"In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, those who lack substance usually speak the loudest and create most fuss. But they are most uncomfortable with the One who knows what they know.
Illustrating with beautiful analogy he says, just like a pretension of a woman posing to be pregnant remains no secret for a doctor who examines her, the Untruth is short lived in the eyes of a True Knower.
He says, the husk or dry outer covering is an integral part of a nut. In other words the very Essence of this rare human birth is veiled by the ignorance of "I am the body" idea,  A Truly Wise however peels the husk for the sublime kernel to  reveal in its True Magnificence.
In another analogy he says, no sane man will mix the butter churned out from the butter milk into it again.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, though the empty vessels make the most noise, the Truth needs no trumpets, for it speaks for itself."
