Tukaram, Poem 1893

I know not what has brought it about; men
abominate sermons. How can you be pleased
with this, O God? You have turned to foolishness
the saints. Evil doers trouble the
faithful; I have found this a fact of life. Tuka
says, Your name is a shaft of liberation; but you
take no pride in this.
