Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
मानामान किती । तुझ्या क्षुल्लका संपत्ती ॥1॥
जा रे चाळवीं बापुडीं । कोणी धरिती तीं गोडी ॥ध्रु.॥
रििद्धसिद्धी देसी। आह्मीं चुंभळें नव्हों तैसीं ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे ठका । ऐसें नागविलें लोकां ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
How much pride will you take in your petty wealth? Go and impress the gullible; let them be charmed by such trifles. Even if you offer riddhis and siddhis, we are not to be won over like innocent fools. Says Tuka, O deceiver, this is how you have cheated the world.

Social Criticism
Rebuke of hypocrisy, caste pride, false teachers, greed, and religious pretence.
