Tukaram, Poem 314

Patience makes Narayana our ally; he suffers no weary pain, no anxious care, to overtake his servants. Sing then His praises joyfully; with his disc he keeps off the power of Time and Death. When her child is sick, the mother spends her life for him; yet there is no common generosity that is like Narayana’s. Assuredly my own experience has taught me this. Tuka says, You must be truthful, for no assumption will serve your turn.
