Tukaram, Poem 504

The saints have told us an easy secret: to
take the cymbal and dindi and dance. Wave
round him and cast away the delight of absolute
union; this praise of God is like a sweet juice of
Brahma. Henceforward this glorious service oc-
cupies us most and most, it is fully accomplished
through the fortune that has made us Thy worship-
pers. No doubt need arise in our minds; the four
modes of salvation are handmaids to the worship-
pers of Hari. Tuka says, If the mind attains
peace, the threefold fever vanishes at once.
