Tukaram, Poem 1592

This is why I have become an ascetic and stay in a holy spot,—I have set free my mind from the snares of hope. I shall never stray beyond these limits; I abandon the thought as soon as I call it up. I feel a stranger everywhere else; I have fixed my faith firmly here. Tuka says, I care nothing about causes or effects; I have offered up my soul to God.
