II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
खोल ओली पडे ते पीक उत्तम I
उथळाचा श्रम वायां जाय I
लटीक्याचे आम्ही नव्हो सांटेकरी I
चित्त घाली भरी पदरींचे II
कोणा इहलोकी पाहीजे पसारा I
दंभ पोट भरायाचे चाडें II
तुका म्हणे कशी आगी जे उतरे I
तेचि येथे सरे जाती शुद्ध II
"In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj comments on a whole bevy of fake 'God -men', who practice spirituality in a superficial and cosmetic sense. He says, because they miss the very essence of spirituality, they bring all their narcissistic emotional baggage to spiritual practice and hence fool the vulnerable by manipulating them for selfish reasons.
Illustrating with beautiful analogy he says, an impostor pretending enlightenment is as vainly as the effort of sowing seeds but not deeply in the soil.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, just like the brilliance of Gold becomes unparalleled when it is burnt in fire, so is the True Enlightenment which dawns only when One dares to roast the seeds of his ignorance in the fire of Divine Wisdom, for the Metal is then ready for the Maker's Hand."
II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II
