Tukaram, Poem 1415

The word of his master is the authority a servant has, so long as ever he lives. He must fear no one else; he must not turn aside when any message is entrusted to him. If he heeds well the occasion he may add such words of his own as will please the hearer like a thunderbolt. Tuka says, Such a one might justly call himself a servant and claim as a right the food he eats.
