Tukaram, Poem 413

I wait expectantly for some message or invitation; why cannot you take pity on my trouble?
O Panduranga, you have kindled my desire, it is
You who have set me in motion! What have I
gained by being born?—thus I say to myself every
moment. Tuka says, We do not receive our true
portion; the world reproaches us; this is one profit
when the account is settled.
