II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

देव तिळी आला I

गोडें गोड जीव धाला II

साधला हा पर्वकाळ I

गेला अंतरीचा मळ II

पापपुण्य गेले I

एका स्नानेची खुंटले II

तुका म्हणे वाणी I

शुद्ध जनार्दन जनीं II

"By Hindu mythology, GOD Yama blessed the  Sesame Seed and therefore they became a symbol of immortality. 

In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, on this most auspicious occasion of 'Makar Sankrant', the transmigration of sun from one constellation of zodiac to the next, GOD is assumed to enter a Sesame Seed. In other words eating a Sesame Seed on this occasion is nothing but enjoying the Supreme Bliss of GOD Realisation.

He says, this experience of Oneness with Him is no less than a bath that cleanses the mind of its inner filth, thus purifying the mind of the of the blemishes of the mortal mind.

Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, the sweet talk devoid of malice to everyone on the Eve of 'Makar Sankrant' is but  praising GOD who dwells in their hearts."
