Tukaram, Poem 1573 d

Now show yourself unmoved by what he does; he has begun to destroy my life. I cannot escape this—why should I rebel against it? Starvation stares me in the face. But I am well off; what will happen to your soul? Consider this with care. This one resolution will keep us from parting; we shall live happily with our children. This will keep you and me together, says Tuka, we shall never be separated.
