II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

प्रेम न ये सांगतां बोलतां दवितां I
अनुभव चित्ता चित्त जाणे II
कासवीचे बाळ वाढे कृपादृष्टी I
दुधा नाही भेटी अंगसंगे II
पोटामध्ये कोणे सांगितले सर्पा I
उपजत लपा म्हनऊनि II
बोलो नेणे परी जाणे गोड क्षार I
अंतरी विचार त्यासी ठावा II
तुका म्हणे बरे विचारावे मनीं I
आणिक भल्यांनी पुसो नये II

"In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, the longing for GOD is a heartfelt sense which words cannot describe and which cannot be pinpointed, for the True Experience is a manifestation of what remains ingrained deep within.
Illustrating with beautiful analogies he says, this sense is like the assurance the young turtle feels, of being taken care of by its mother, even if she doesn't nurse her young, or it is like the innate sense the newborn snakes have, to remain hidden as soon as they are born.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, just like sweetness of sugar cannot be described but sensed, so is the longing for GOD which is to be experienced, like the sense that makes a speechless man discriminate the taste of what he is eating without articulating it."
