Tukaram, Poem 1411

What do they take from me by abusing me? Why should I try to live at peace with them? Can any of them take me to a higher world, or prevent me from going there, if I seek to do so? I speak neither good nor ill of anyone; people are welcome to spread scandal about me. All my burden rests on Panduranga, what have I to do with the world? All the means of salvation I know, says Tuka, is the name and praises of Vitthoba.
