Tukaram, Poem 358

I would gladly know the truth about the soul, but my mind drags me away, with ungracious obstinacy. I can make no progress because it is so narrow; my conduct is altogether crazy. We can taste nothing till the right time comes; I have made up my mind to this, Tuka says, Your words serve to disclose you: why should I make you speak time after time?
