Tukaram, Poem 375

To no purpose have I indulged the world; I have nothing of it and nothing of God. I have imagined that God does not exist; a man who has food to eat knows not what hunger is. My speech is graced by command of words, but the truth does not penetrate within me. I have become a wanderer; I have lost both the world and Thy feet, O God! Tuka says, If I had known this long ago, I should not have allowed this frenzy to touch me.
