Tukaram, Poem 1894

Of qualities you sit shrouded from our
eyes; why have you given us eyes and
ears? I shrink from hearing Your name dispraised
and seeing your service contemned. If within your
own being You have left void space, what avails
this glimpse of faith You have given us? Tuka
says, Be it known to You I am sorrowful; I
cannot give my mind to the task before me.
