Tukaram, Poem 626

The goods of Dvaraka have come to this spot; henceforth the Lord of devotees gives us courage. He has bound us to him by earnest-money, he has measured us out our purchases fairly; he does not yet think of returning. The servants of Vishnu wield the measure; they have not yet laid all the tallies aside; nor can we see a time when the measuring will be finished. Those who have gained by this trade have not changed their plans; they have stored up enough for the life here and beyond. Tuka says, I have got my wages; I have earned a place of confidence in the dwellings of the saints.
