Translation :

Break the duality and find HARI everywhere. No need to search beyond thyself  ...1
Mind is a puzzle to be solved by the mind to know this small truth. Just as a hunter follows footprints of the prey ...2
So far the physical body and its extent was considered as real. As real as scare crow erected to defend the crop in the field .... 3
Tuka says wake up and refrain from vanity. Open your eyes to realise ultimate reality within thyself......4.

Commentary :

Line 1
The duality takes birth almost at the time of the birth of any individual. The first thing that one instinctively understands is " I , me and mine "  I am " me"  even if I forget my name. This is termed as AHAM BHAV. Instantly understood is what is not me as you and yours or He , she, it and theirs. This is termed as IDAMBHAV. Many times this is referred as the Subjective and Objective thoughts. This is duality referred by Sant Tukaram and urged to break fre from it. He further assures that fall out will be finding HARI every where. No need to search beyond thyself as an object or a person. The term HARI is not to be construed as some mythological GOD.

Line 2
Easy to say than experience. Sant Tukaram is advocating to use the Mind as instrument to solve puzzle of mind. The duality sustains on the acts of  likes and  dislikes of the mind. Only mind can break away from it.
An example is given of the hunter hunting the prey by following it's foot prints to underline self query.

Line 3
At the beginning the physical body is understood as true. Its interaction with the world is also understood as true. Only self query will show that these things are as real as scare crow raised in the field to protect the crop. It appears to be real and serves the limited role but never the person it is personifying.

Line 4
Sant Tukaram says Wake up and refrain from undue extensive actions. Open your eyes and realise the ultimate reality within thyself.
