Tukaram, Poem 782

Dance and song are my best refuge; I shall offer You such faith as I can. When you sleep, I must of course obey You and go; when you vanish, I shall make an offering of my life to You; I shall burst forth into joyful and harmonious song. Tuka says, You generous spirit, that give freely to us, in an instant will clear away my burden.
