Such is the loving trust of my Vitthoba that God, as He becomes our teacher, assumes a pleasing form, and fulfils our desires; we may hope He will take us to himself. He shields us on all sides; if destruction draw nigh, He averts it. He preserves what we have acquired; He knows what would distress us; He takes us by the hand and leads us. Tuka says, He who believes this not, let Him search the Puranas with attention.
