Tukaram, Poem 1767

For all their wisdom the Vedas are dumb; but these unkempt girls, the Gopis, saw Him face to face. Why this was so in each case, the wise alone know. The God of a sacrifice will find some fault with the ritual; yet how sweet to Rama were the nuts that Shabari gave Him! Tuka says, Without faith, all is futile toil.
