Tukaram, Poem 1861

I have sought Thee because I was fallen; why else need I revere Thee? What canst Thou do but save me, tell me truly, O Narayana? To shelter a guilty man and then to surrender him, were this not a shame? To set up drinking fountains and houses of free refreshment, and then to beat those who come to the door, this would bring no glory or honour. What testimony does an eyewitness need? When you see an object do you want the evidence of a mirror? How should I fail to know whether I am saved or not, says Tuka?
