II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

योग तप याचि नांवे I

गलित व्हावे अभिमाने II

करणे ते हेचि करा I

सत्ये धरा व्यापार II

तरी खंडे येरझारा I

निघे भार देहाचा II

तुका म्हणे मानामान I

हे बंधन नसावे II

"In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, the true ascetic is not the One who wears austerity externally, but he who has transcended "I am this body" idea.

He says, the journey of GOD Realisation is not about Renunciation of Action but Renunciation in Action. And therefore he says, follow this path steadfastly, for countless have done so since time immemorial and been able to put a stop to the gruelling cycle of repeated sufferings once and for all. 

He says, beware of insult on the journey of Self Realisation, for insulted is he who holds "I am this body" idea dearly and inadverently follows the path in opposite direction."
