II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

वाघाचा कलभूत दिसे वाघा ऐसा I
परी नाही दशा साच अंगी II
बाहेरील रंग निवडी कसोटी I
संघटणे भेटी आपेआप II
शिकविले तैसे नाचावे माकडे I
न चले त्यापुढे युक्ती काही II
तुका म्हणे करी लटिक्याचा सांठा I
फजित तो खोटा शीघ्र होय II

"A lie will always be a lie."
In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, the Self Quest is impossible unless we consciously remove the veil of lies of "I", "Me", " Mine", the root cause of all our sufferings.
He says, stuffing the skin of a dead tiger with a straw creates an impression as if he is alive. But the pretension is nowhere near the otherwise magnificent beast.
In another analogy he says, just like a coated coin fails when subjected to a test, the Untruth gets exposed as soon as it comes in contact with the Truth.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says,  just like the monkey dances to the tune of his master, the mask of falsehood lasts only until the Truth is revealed.
Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, all falsehood is a mask and however well made the mask may be, with a little attention One can always distinguish it from the True Face."
