Tukaram, Poem 659

If a thing is not present in your mind, what good
will it do to place it before your eyes? This
is why a calf forgets its mother. But if your mind
is in harmony with another’s, then you delight in
His speech and love the wind that blows from him.
Tuka says, Without faith all is insipid, like food
without salt.
