Tukaram, Poem 178

If God intervenes, then the action passes over to Him, I am a silent witness; knowing this, all vexation about purity and impurity passes away. The toy notion of individual and supreme spirit was created for a diversion of the fancy. Where then are the worlds? They are an illusion that passes away. Of a truth the world is of one substance with Vishnu; under this notion all our ideas fall into their place. The variety of castes and creeds is a diversion of His; the whole texture is woven of one; then how can there be a distinction of like and unlike things? Such is the conclusion reached by Narayana in the person of His Vedic author. This essence of gracious favour Tuka has obtained; his dwelling is close to his feet and not far from them.
