Tukaram, Poem 1380

Teacher of the wise, prince and king, Lord of knowledge, they call You. Why do you bestow this greatness on one feeble like me? A shoe is best in place on the feet. Since Brahma and the rest are Your servants, how can others be compared with you? Tuka says, I cannot fathom your designs, so I lay my head at your feet.
