"In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, GOD is Sant and Sant is GOD, for the icons of "Sant" or "GOD" are our endeavors of confining the Unmanifest within boundaries of our limited worldly perspective.

Illustrating with a beautiful analogy he says, Lord Vishnu is often called with two seemingly opposite names "Shunya" or "Zero" and "Infinite". He says, if "Infinity" is immeasurable, so is "Zero", for if "Infinity" is immeasurable plenitude, "Zero" is immeasurable emptiness. If we assume the series of values from zero to infinity then zero would be at one end and infinity would be found at the other end, which makes "Zero" and "Infinity" to be two sides of the same ungraspable coin. In the same manner he says, "Infinite" and "Zero" might seem anonymous but in reality they mean the same thing. "Lord Infinity" is no different from "Lord Zero". Here 'Lord Zero" means He who transcends all attributes or He whose existence cannot be grasped by His qualities or "Gunas" alone making Him "Nirguna", "Shunya"or the Unmanifest. And therefore he says,"Shunya" is  Almighty or "Sant" is but the "Unmanifest" manifested in Form.

In this analogy he says, "Zero" corresponds to "Sant"who lives in the world but not of the world while "Infinity" corresponds to "GOD", the Unmanifest.. And therefore he says, "GOD" and "Sant" are no different, for Sant is merely an embodiment of Divine, the Sublime Essence of World Entire."
