What purpose remains unfulfilled that I should trouble Thee any longer? For Thy name’s sake I need suffer no loss of life or aught else; it recurs easily to the mind. It brings no pangs, nor inflicts starvation; nor demands wealth in cows and buffaloes. O worshipper, all this you know well: why then do you believe in worldly wealth? Tuka says, People break away from Thy feet, through the love of the fleeting world.
