II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

आशाबद्ध वक्ता I

धाक श्रोतीयाच्या चित्ता II

गातो तेही नाही ठावे I

तोंड वासी काही द्यावे II

झाले लोभाचे मांजर I

पोट भरे दारोदार II

वायां गेले ते भजन I

उभयतां लोभी मन II

बहिरे मुके एके ठायी I

तैसे झाले तया दोही II

माप आणि गोणी I

तुका म्हणे रिती दोन्ही II

"In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, when the discourse by the orator is intentional, the listener feels the fear that the orator may expect something from him in return. The orator may not believe in what he is talking about but he presents it for a reward. This materialistic attitude of the orator he says is catlike who roams around place to place for nothing but food.

He says, vainly is the spiritual discourse when the orator and the listener do it for some material expectation. Such alliance he says is as futile as the interaction between a deaf and a mute.

Illustrating with beautiful analogy Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, this fruitless interaction is like that of a measuring jug and the sack of grain, for both remain empty after the measuring jug removes the grain from the sack."
