Tukaram, Poem 1343

How can I tell the pleasure of grinding corn?
It will satisfy you well, my friend. If it is clean, you can turn the mill swiftly, you feel pleasure in every part of your frame. When you eat clean food, body and mind are satisfied; it needs little fire beneath the pot. Clean corn you can cook easily and well; it brings no disgust or waste with it. Tuka says, We all love clean food; it will not turn your husband’s heart from you.
