Tukaram, Poem 927

How can I be grateful enough to the saints?—
they keep me continually awake. How can
I pay off this debt, O God? If I gave up my life at
their feet, it would be too little. Their conversation
is always edifying; they instruct me at the cost of
great toil. Tuka says, As a cow keeps her calf in
mind, so they watch over me.
