Tukaram, Poem 751

I know not how to withdraw my faith; I have laid my soul peacefully at Thy feet. This is the spot whence all gain proceeds, such is the general view in my mind. My capital is trust in Thee; once for all I am resolved to be Thy servant. I look back no more on the desires of the past; henceforth I long to serve Thee. I have offered Thee all I have; I have crushed the pride of “I” and “mine”. I find propitious the unpropitious hour; every day a holy day; I feel assured of Thy mercy. The infinite one is the guiding spirit in the concern; I know no other guide. Thus I feel at peace; the gain or loss in the business concerns not me. I pass through life untouched by it. I have kept my heart aloof from all its shows. The earnest effort of the seed is a true shelter in this life; it protects from all assaults of evil. I stand aloof from the chaos of doctrine, and keep myself holy. I love the form which comes to dwell in my mind; Tuka says, I have made it the ornament of my eye.
