Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 635

The light of the sun vanishes in the night;
though lamps are multiplied, yet what are
they? Now let this controller of the senses dwell
in my soul and in my heart; by this aid the secrets
of the world become known. If my master is with
me, none can come between us; nor shall I pray to
any other. By his aid the migrations of rebirth are
closed, because His love is near at hand, says Tuka.
