It says,
Saint Namdev says that the body is perishable and life is uncertain. It is incomprehensible to know the moment of its destruction. Fearlessness inculcates in One who recites the Name of Supreme Lord Shri Ram incessantly. The Name Worship of Supreme Lord makes One detached when the messenger of God of Death knocks at his door
It is said that every song has an appropriate time associated with it. But Saint Namdev implores Vitthal,  the Lord Supreme that he is unaware of this knowledge. While singing the praises of the Supreme Lord , he often sings facing west while all others are singing facing the south. But he is least bothered of these rituals because absorbing into the Name Worship is paramount to him in his devotion. As a devotee he only wishes to seek this opportunity to serve the Divine Lord with utmost reverence from within and wishes to do it in every birth henceforth. "

It says ,
" The devotees of Supreme Lord Vishnu are well aware of glory of His Name Worship. Elucidating it  Saint Namdev says ,
Devotees of Divine Lord Vishnu are called Vaishnav. The flavor of the Divine essence is deeply ingrained in them through constant recital of name of Supreme Lord. One having materialistic outlook is ignorant and hence remains unaware of the divine sweetness of the Name Worship of Supreme Lord. Instead he tends to be absorbed in satisfying the unending desire of senses. This self inflicted entrapment of senses keeps him forever away from the Name Worship of Supreme Lord. The path of Self Realisation unfolds only when One recites the Name Of Supreme Lord incessantly. Worthless is life if One spends time in doing mundane things instead of devoting exclusively to the Name Worship of Supreme Lord.
The devotee is the One who is beyond the realm of any distinction , be it cast or social hierarchy or appearance. The Name Of Supreme Lord is beyond such worldly perspective. Everyone born is entitled.to recite the Name of Supreme Lord.
Supreme Lord Vitthal who is revered by His devotee so earnestly is the Divine, Self Manifested. The Divine Name of Supreme Lord is easily accessible to His true devotee. But it is equally unattainable for the One who does not believe in it from within.
In this composition Saint Namdev has propounded of the paramount importance of the Name Worship of Supreme Lord , as One needs to do conscious effort to recite His name in this rarest of rare human birth. "

" The impending voluntary exit of Saint Dnyaneshwar from this mundane world has been a painful episode for all devotees. Saint Namdev says ,
My soul aches like a squirming  fish out of water.. The extreme turmoil of mind is very depressing and life seems to be like a barren land. The sagging spirit is causing much melancholy. Sorrow from deep within has engrossed everyone in the proximity and all of them are grieving of his imminent departure from this worldly life. "

" In this composition Saint Namdev has delved deep into the intricacies of human mind. He says ,
Fickle human mind is ever vacilitating. It has an inherent inclination to be captivated by sensual desires. It is aroused by even a faint whiff of smell.
Reciting the holy 'Ram Nam' is a simple way to keep mind well occupied as well as well swayed. One must inculcate a habit of reciting the holy 'Ram Nam' while doing daily chores. If One recites the holy 'Ram Nam' incessantly while enjoying pleasures of senses then he remains immune to  their ill effects.
One who recites the holy 'Ram Nam' continually attains noteworthiness in world.
Blessed is the One who recites the holy 'Ram Nam' at the brink of death. He becomes One with the Divine Lord and is liberated from the unending cycle of death and rebirth.
Name Worship of Supreme Lord Shri Ram is easier than other modes of devotion having ritualistic precedence. The Name Worship of Supreme Lord Shri Ram is open to all , regardless of any distinction.
Supreme Lord Shiva recites the holy 'Ram Nam' continually and hence the Name Worship of Supreme Lord Shri Ram is the easiest means to seek the Supreme Consciousness.
Saint Namdev reiterates from time and again that One must recite the holy 'Ram Nam' continuously making it his way of  life as it surely unfolds the path of Self Realisation. "

It says ,
" In this composition Saint Namdev has lashed out at the Tartuffe or religious hypocrite who cheat by way of deception. He says ,
In a farm , a scarecrow or a dummy in the shape of a man is used to frighten the birds away from seeds. Even if this dummy wields a weapon , it's feigned nature cannot remain hidden for long.
A crow can never display the magnanimity of flamingo. An illiterate man even if accompanies a man of wisdom does not become one.
Saint Namdev has expressed his annoyance over the imposter who deceives a commoner in the name of religious rituals and hence he cautions One, of people of such devillish intentions. Their attire is a false pretense for their wicked desires  but from within they are far from any commitment to self and off course to anyone else ."
