Tukaram, Poem 569

I have been spreading out viands of speech: how can these be real or satisfy us? When you have gone home, no one will know what disappointment is, though many of you have met and eaten. At sunrise you may conceive both sunrise and sunset, if in your waking thoughts you form an image of them. Tuka sets to work enlightening ignorant children, awakening the rest of mankind.
