Tukaram, Poem 957

Now open your eyes; if you cannot see even
now, you are a mere stone produced from
your mother’s womb. Since you have secured such
a treasure as this human frame, whatever mystic
power you seek you will attain. Enlightening
others, many saints have been saved themselves.
There is a boat on the bank of the Chandrabhaga,
it stands at the door of Panduranga. He who
stands there hand on hip delays not to protect thee.
Tuka says, It costs you nothing to embrace his
feet; salvation follows at once.
