Tukaram, Poem 1765

There lived once a fool on a river bank: he was well and delighted therein.
Those who saw it did just this—they took him to the water hard by that cost him nothing.
They secured for him a place there, ordaining there his little life.
Tuka says, One’s cravings are fully satisfied; this peace is found in the company of the saints.
