समुद्राचे पाणी मुंगी मुखांतुनी I
काढाया लागोनि श्रम थोड़े II
केशवाची भक्ति कठीण त्याहुनि I
वायां दंभपणी नोहे नोहे II
आकाश अंगुळे माप सूर्येमान I
भुमीचे।वजन पालड़ेनि II
नामा म्हणे वारा वळू दे कदापि I
केशवाचे रूपी नव्हे बुद्धि II

       - संत नामदेव

It says ,
" Renouncing the worldly desires is essential to seek salvation through path of devotion. However to continue doing it consistently for a long time is a gruelling  task and needs conviction from within. Following the path of Devotion  is a solemn promise to the self.
In this composition Saint Namdev has effectively used "Exaggeration" on the backdrop of "Paradox" , to exemplify this thought.  He says ,
The devotion of the Supreme Lord is a herculean task as compared to even draining the ocean by capacity of an ant. Devotion to Lord Supreme is a dialogue with the Self and hence much trumpeting of it takes it nowhere. Similarly ,
The sky is an abyss and is beyond comprehension. However in the wierd imagination , its vastness can be grasped by worldly means ,  but it is more difficult to achieve unstirred devotion to the Supreme Lord.
In the same way , weighing of earth or curbing of savage wind may be even assumed to be possible , but explicit devotion to the Lord Supreme is more vigorous an endeavour.
In this composition , Saint Namdev has narrated with focus on the paradox of the analogies. He reiterates that journey to Self Realisation is taxing endeavour, it needs tremendous resolve and can be pursued only by affinity to the Divine from deep within. "
