II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

अवगुणांचे हाती I
आहे अवघीच फजीती II
नाही पात्रासवे चाड I
प्रमाण ते फिके गोड II
विष तांब्या वाटी I
भरली लांवू नये होटी II
तुका म्हणे भाव I
शुद्ध बरा सोंग वाव II

It is said that
" Your inner beauty never needs makeup. It is the beauty of your inner self, the unfading beauty of the gentle and calm Spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. "
In this composition of Sant Tukaram Maharaj says that the true task is to seek and find all the barriers within Self that have been built against it. The self imposed barriers which prevent One to be true to Self must be consciously and wilfully eradicated. He says , to seek God is to be true to Self because beauty is not in the face, but it is a light in the heart. There is nothing wrong with enjoying looking at the surface of ocean itself, except that when you finally see what goes on underwater, you realise that you have been missing the entire perspective of the ocean.
Illustrating with meaningful analogy Sant Tukaram Maharaj says,
Poison is served in a vessel of precious metal. The grave and lethal effect of poison cannot be undermined regadless of the preciousness of the metal vessel in which it is served.This is just like seeking God with pompous rituals but without being true to Inner Self. It is the purity of mind that in itself is Divine which merges with the Divine.
Sant Tukaram Maharaj says that One must guard  his heart above all else, for it determines the fervour with which he seeks the Supreme Divine. "
