Tukaram, Poem 1818

No experience overtakes us unless it be
through our store of merit; let this
thought keep your mind at peace. No grief
then should fill our minds; we should call con-
tinually on Govinda. There is nothing that
should move us to anger save our own store of
merit. If we throw our burden on Him, says
Tuka, Narayana will be our protector.
