II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II

यालागीं जन्मलेचि ते मोघ I जैसे वार्षियेवीण मेघ I कां मृगजळाचे तरंग I दुरूनिची पाहावे II 172 II
अथवा कोल्हेरीचे असिवार I ना तरी वोडंबरीचे अळंकार I कीं गंधर्वनगरीचे आवार I आभासती कां II 173 II
सावरी वाढिन्नल्या सरळा I वरी फळ ना आंतु पोकळा I कां स्तन जाले गळां I शेळिये जैसे II 174 II
तैसें मूर्खांचे तयां जियालें I आणि धिग कर्म तयांचें निपजलें I जैसें सांवरी फळ आलें I घेपें ना दीजे II 175 II
मग जें कांहीं ते पढिन्नले I तें मर्कटें नारेळ तोडिले I कां आंधळ्या हातीं पडिलें I मोतीं जैसें II 176 II
किंबहुना तयांचीं शास्त्रें I जैशीं कुमारीहातीं दिधलीं शस्त्रें I कां अशौचा मंत्रें I बीजें कथिलीं II 177 II
तैसें ज्ञानजात तयां I आणि जें कांहीं आचरलें गा धनंजया I तें आघवेंचि गेलें वायां I जे चित्तहीन II 178 II
पैं तमोगुणाची राक्षसी I जे सद्बुद्धितें ग्रासी I विवेकाचा ठावोचि पुसी I निशाचरी जे II 179 II
तिये प्रकृती वरपड जाले I म्हणऊनि चित्ताचे कपाळे गेले I वरि तामसीयेचि पडिलें I मुखामाजीं II 180 II
जेथ आशेचिये लाळे I आंतु हिंसा जीभ लोळे I तेवींचि असंतोषाचे चाकळे I अखंड चघळी II 181 II
जे अनर्थाचे कानवेरी I आवाळुवें चाटीत निघे  बाहेरी I जे प्रमादपर्वतींची दरी I सदाचि मातली II 182 II
जेथ द्वेषाचिया दाढा I खसखसां ज्ञानाचा करिती रगडा I जे त्वगस्थी गवसणी मूढां I स्थूलबुद्धि II 183 II
ऐसे आसुरिये प्रकृतीचे तोंडीं I जे जाले गा भूतोंडीं I ते बुडोनि गेले कुंडीं I व्यामोहाच्या II 184 II
एवं तमाचिया पडिले गर्ते I न पविजतीचि विचाराचेनि हातें I हें असो गेले जेथें I ते शुद्धीचि नाहीं II 185 II
म्हणोनि असोतु इयें वायाणीं I कायशीं मूर्खांचीं बोलणीं I वायां वाढवितां वाणी I शिणेल हन II 186 II
ऐसें बोलिलें देवें I तेथ जी जी म्हणितलें पांडवें I आइकें जेथ वाचा विसंवे I ते साधुकथा II 187 II

"Because of this, life of such people go in vain just like clouds in the seasons other than rainy season or seeing from distance waves of mirage where the desert or hot pavement appears to ripple with reflected light, creating the illusion of water. This is because a close scrutiny reveals their hollowness. Or just like illusion of ornaments by a magic trick or horserider figurine crafted from clay or a stone fence around the city of Gandharvas', a mystical celestial city embodying illusion or a fleeting, dream-like existence. Or just like a Sawari tree that grows straight upwards bears no fruits, and it's stem is also hollow or a lump on a goat's neck that resembles an udder, so vainly is the life of such ignorant, their Karma is as fruitless as of Sawari tree and reproachable. Their acquired knowledge goes in vain just like a precious pearl in the hands of a blind or a coconut to the monkey. Their book of knowledge is like weapon in the hands of a girl child or as vainly as chanting of mantras' by a person lacking in purity. Their knowledge and Karma too go in vain. Being slave to Tamas Guna represented by inertia, ignorance and delusion that eclipses good intellect and destroys individual's ability to distinguish between right and wrong, shatters their mind. Tamas Guna like a demon has violence as it's tongue lazily lying in the saliva of desires and keep chewing the cud of discontent. The lolling tongue of the demon reaching the ears of disaster roams freely in the valley of vices. Hatred are it's fangs that rip, tear and crush the knowledge. It encompasses the ignorant like a Kumbha (pot) to the sage Agasti. 
(the sage Agasti is said to have been born from a kumbha (pot))
Those who fall prey to this demon get drowned in the illusion of ignorance. The sensible thoughts do not reach those engrossed by the demon of Tamas Gun.
Let Me now have your attention Parth said Lord Krishna, what follows are the characteristics of the saintly beings that give peace to the soul."
