Tukaram, Poem 1922

I cling heartily to my indefeasible right, to
be a fallen sinner. Now say, which of us
is stronger? Thy mind and my mind bear witness
to the truth. Show me the badge which the
saviour wears; what right hast Thou to it? The
mere badge means nothing, says Tuka; thou
must prove its reality.
