II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

दर्पणासी नखटे लाजे I

शुद्ध खिजे देखोनि II

ऐसे अवगुणाच्या बाधे I

दिसे सुधे विपरित II

अंधळ्यासी काय हिरा I

गाराचि तो सारिखा II

तुका म्हणे भुंके सुने I

ठाया नेणे ठाव तो II

"In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, just like all looks yellow to the jaundiced eye, the failings which we see in others are actually our own.

He says, the face that stares back through the mirror is the One that looks into it, for mirrors don't lie.

Illustrating with beautiful analogy he says, a sparkling diamond is no more than a pebble to the blind. In other words One fails to see the truth behind the facade due to ignorance.

He says, willfully living the ignorance is just like a dog who barks for no reason."
