II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

नजर करे सोहि जिंके बाबा दुरथी तमासा देख I

लकडी फांसा लेकरं बैठा आगले ठकण भेख II

काहे भुला एक देखत आंखो मारत डांगो बाजार II

दमरी चमरी जो नर भुला I

सोत आघो हिलत खाय II

नहि बुलावत किसे बाबाआपही मत जाय I

कहे तुका उस असाके संग फिरफिर गोते खाय II

"In this composition Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, Truly victorious is he who plays the drama of life like a silent witness, living in the world but not of the world.

He says, beware of Maya, the illusion, that which is simply an appearance like the sunset where sun appears to be setting, but in reality it is not setting. Under its influence we come to accept that we are merely the physical beings subject to aging and death, not the immortal souls that we truly are.

He says, trying to make ends meet, man has become a slave to money, the monster that keeps feeding itself.  But he forgets that in the end when he will be trampled down by death, the inevitable, the wealthiest is no more than a pauper. 

Summing up Sant Tukaram Maharaj says, the tyranny of expectations is the root cause of all sufferings."
