What will he who honours Thee lose? He who will not honour thee, what will he gain? We will see Vitthala in all things; let him dwell in our mind in any form he pleases. Those who are slaves of the world prattle idly from their own point of view; of such, some praise, some blame Thee, O Panduranga, says Tuka.
I have found a sea of love, an inexhaustible flood; I have opened a treasure of spiritual knowledge, it diffuses the lustre of a million suns, arisen in Thy worshipper’s souls. Unexpectedly, without an effort, I have heard the eternal secret, I have learned to know God. The seed of the high reunion has been enfolded in my own destiny. I have now beheld Him in whose sight is all goodness, a sea of happy augury, the supreme power of mystic words. I have attained Him, whose name is nectar, whose nature is pure, intellect free from passion. The very joy of peace and compassion is found in this joy, that accompanies the knowledge of the being and knowing God; this Pundalika declares. Lo! Pandhari has unfolded the delight of infinite joy!
I do not myself know the stage beyond desire that the faithful need; I do not know the universal brotherhood of living things. Tuka says, O Lord of Pandhari, let me now dwell with the saints!
