Tukaram, Poem 754

I have no speech to describe Thy glory; I cannot truly tell the limits of Thy nature. I have laid this body, Thy own gift, at thy feet; now what can I renounce for Thee to honour Thee therewith? I have no faith to serve Thee; if I offer Thee my life, behold it is Thine; I cannot see anything of my own to offer Thee. Tuka says, I have nothing I can rely on, to pay the debt of gratitude I owe Thee.
