II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

पाषाण देव पाषाण पायरी I

पूजा एकावरी पाय ठेवी II

सार तो भाव सार तो भाव I

अनुभवी देव तेचि जाले II

उदका भिन्न पालट काई I

गंगा गोड येरां चवी काय नाही II

तुका म्हणे हे भाविकांचे वर्म I

येरी धर्माधर्म विचारावे II

"In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, the idol of GOD and the floor on which we stand before GOD are both made of stone, yet we worship only the idol, assuming His presence in it. In other words it is our faith that instills divinity to the stone idol of GOD. The Spiritually Wise since time immemorial realised this and became no less than Gods.

Illustrating with beautiful analogy he says, can we say that waters of river Ganges taste sweeter than the waters of other rivers?

Similarly he says, just like beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, only a true devotee experiences GOD Realisation, leaving the debate to others."
