Tukaram, Poem 476

This is not my wish to have illusive wealth, to take care for the world. To gain Thy feet I have composed my spirit; now I want nothing else. Be merciful and accept me, delay not, O God. I have learned that there is nothing real here, so I have narrowed my desires. Tuka says, O sea of mercy, accomplish my hopes.
