Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 646

This Goddess becomes God when our distresses
are over; she does not continue apart from
Him; there is no need to describe her separately.
Awake now! Chant the name of Hari, the name of
God! Ask for your parting gift; let no clogging
burden remain with you. Sound the drums to
proclaim that we have reached our goal. Close
your shrine; accept the honour your officers give.
Tuka says, To-day I have read the riddle
well.
