Tukaram, Poem 183

By this means our independence of spirit is cast forth—whether we take or refuse pleasure, it is Panduranga dwelling in us who takes or refuses. The semblance of a cause being destroyed, we cease to count loss or gain, much or little. Tuka says, Let us return to our tasks, but cease to identify ourselves with them.
