We have put off the life of the body and kept still at the feet of Vitthoba, knowing beforehand what will avail us. God is already at work; neither pleasure nor pain therefore possesses our minds, since we have heard His voice. I have become separate, alone, and still; I have cast my burden upon Vitthala. Tuka says, He whose mark I bear, He knows all that is good for me.
