Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 209

To repeat your name is to string pearls together; this pleasure in your embodied form is ever new. I have ceased to desire the unembodied God; your worshippers do not seek liberation. With you it is still left possible to give and to receive. What avails the spot where a dish stood, when it is taken away? Tuka says, Give me the gift of freedom from fear; say, O Thou that pervadest the world, I have given it Thee!
