Tukaram, Poem 2049

He knows the faith within a man, he takes such steps as are needed. You need not ask for anything; he will follow your heart and soul. Imperishable are the fruits we may gather by continued patience. A mother feeds her child before he asks. This is how some have crossed mountains, says Tuka.
