Tukaram, Poem 2051

As the mind is drawn towards anything, so is that thing near or far. I need not explain this, nor set up a dry argument about it; the witness thereof is the inner witness who is ever near us. The holder of the strings knows all, what puppet is dancing and how. Tuka says, A man’s achievements are ever in proportion to his mind.
