Tukaram, Poem 351

I have become skilful in my own conceit; I have given up faith for idle self-satisfaction; thereafter that I should waste my time is a small thing; lust and rage have come to dwell in me. The world is full of faults; the spirits of men persist in envy. Tuka says, I shall admonish mankind, but I am not free from a single fault myself.
