Tukaram, Poem 284

Who is such a heap of generosity as You?
You give your servant a place with Yourself. You
consider not whether he is pure or abject, or what
his lineage is; you purify Him by dwelling in his
body. In His house you will eat even bitter food,
but You will not relish dainties from impious people.
You will not leave Your servants’ houses though
You are beaten there—you, who will not visit the
Yogi’s minds. Tuka says, True are your titles to
honour, so the four Vedas declare.
