Tukaram, Poem 1375

Yet in spite of all I made it my purpose to have [unclear] and grow quickly rich. Then I took a bold step and became a servant of Hari; I learned the secrets of those who went before me. This was a new course that led me from the world; so I sacrificed my life to it. Tuka says, Thus I became a servant of saints; as the days went by my Lord became my debtor.
