Tukaram, Poem 2069

Here is no occasion for despair, ’tis well if we leave some room for hope within us. He who supports the world contains it within himself; there we too shall be at the latter end. If we in our ignorance contemplate Him in our hearts, our efforts will reach His innermost being. My lord will not speak out, says Tuka, but I know how to answer sign with sign.
