Tukaram, Poem 355

I speak gentle words, yet lust and rage flourish within me; I cannot tell, O Panduranga, how it is that I have moved towards Thy feet. My spirit is not pure, as the saints describe purity, from the testimony of the Puranas. Tuka says, Bring me to experience, O God, and show me the pure truth.
