Tukaram, Poem 1466

If your mind is pure, foes will be your friends,
neither serpents nor tigers will devour you;
wickedness becomes righteousness towards you.
Misery will make you happy: flames of fire will
be cool. Animals will love you as though you were
their own life; every creature will feel the same
towards you. Tuka says, If Narayana has be-
stowed his favour on you, then experiences will
make you aware of it.
