Tukaram, Poem 839

What has the body to do except to secure love? Those appropriate duties which have fallen to my lot—I will perform. I will call upon Narayana, for this act cannot be controlled by the limitations of the body. The Lord of Pandhari, when he hears, will run. The frame of the seven senses and five activities is formed by destiny. Now that it exists, let it be; do Thou, O God, guard it that it may be happy.
’Tis well that we have found union; let us keep our enlightened vision.
Tuka says, I take no rest.
