Tukaram, Poem 1817

Present, past and future Thou knowest;
thou discernest both the merit that is past
and that before me. What can I lay at Thy feet
to change my destiny? Do as Thou wilt, O God.
What can any act of mine effect? Better that I
join my hands in prayer. Tuka says, Silence now
my foolish speeches, what the Giver resolves will
come to pass.
