Tukaram, Poem 726

O but this; let the wives and wealth of others be nothing to you; be not covetous, but follow your occupation comfortably. Without any covert struggle live peacefully. Enjoy the sweet and fragrant name; be not slothful in uttering the name of Rama. Be everybody’s friend; speak no word of evil import; avoid the wicked; exert yourself for the saints. If you form any hopes apart from God, they will end in the loss of all hopes. If you foster the thirst for desire, you will never find happiness. Trust and be patient; let God be your stay. God is a source of gain and preservation for such; none will be an exception, says Tuka.
