Tukaram, Poem 1372

I have delivered unto Thee body, speech and mind, do Thou take charge of them. In my ignorance I loved the trouble they caused me, though none of them was my own. I know nothing of the secret or the goal; the senses wander ungoverned through the ten quarters. Tuka says, The mind runs to help the senses; what can I do to help it?
