Your blessing will do good to me. Your own hearts cannot contain your flow of good will, thus your speech bends its course back to me. I will eat the food you leave, I will sweep up the dust in your courtyards, but I have no such merit in store that I should embrace your feet. Tuka says, I shall not forget the kindness the saints have shown me.
