Tukaram, Poem 890

O brother! let us bow to those who have ceased to heed the sensations of the body, to those who entreat God, to those who visit holy places, to those who come to those who see them off, to those who trust in the speeches of the saints, to those who serve their teacher in faith, to those who cherish their parents, to those who always speak the truth, to those who perceive the pain and joy of others, who guard them from hunger and thirst; to those who have won merit by service to others; to those who govern the organs of sense. Tuka says, Let us bow down to the servants of Hari, for their every desire is fulfilled.
