Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 1231

“Fear not; cover up your eyes. If God
undertakes the task, there is no fear.”
“We know our father is God of gods; he hides
from us the miracle that He works or sets to work.”
He, the pervading one, opens his mouth and eats
up the flame. At the appointed time the cowherds
look forth. Tuka says, Before now we feared
without cause; now we have learnt that there is
no distress by His side.
