Tukaram, Poem 1912

I ought not to speak, but an occasion has arisen; the world is directed in your name. It is all a false show, a cheating display; we have found you out for a beggar. Casting off shame and assuming courage we have trusted to your support. Someday, I know not how, you will end this trouble we have occasioned you. Why will you not speak, O God? This is true and fit service that I render you, says Tuka.
