Tukaram, Poem 1573 m

God, my kindly teacher, has called me;
I accept such kindness as I can do you. Truly
God has accepted me; I can think no otherwise.
Now take courage and gird up your loins; this
is all the advice I can give you now. Clean and
sprinkle the tulsi enclosure; offer worship to
Khandoba. Be a servant of the Vaishnavas with
all your heart, take the name of Vitthoba on your
lips. In this dialogue of wife and husband there
is wise counsel; blest are they who hear it. Tuka
says, A discourse concerning Panduranga, he
will be saved who lays it to heart.
At a distance; a beggar with neither name nor
thereby angered nor embarrassed
to me by birth.
thrown I must eat the
food ordained
for me. Tuka says, You are separate from us—
God has made you other, O Bramhanas!
