Tukaram, Poem 387

Why has some adverse season stepped in to
destroy me with thee? Why have such
perplexities arisen? Why will you not visit me and
prevent them? Why, O God, have I clung in-
wardly to this idea of separation? Either I am
very sinful, or You have grown weak; you have not
your old strength now. Are You indebted or bank-
rupt? Are you forcibly bound by reason of a debt?
Tuka says, Why are You so entangled that you have
separated your treasure from mine?
