Tukaram, Poem 2074

God’s love is enough to give us confidence; we need not trouble about things prescribed by codes. We must not stay near filth; we should avoid it as men avoid barking animals. Tuka says, In forbearance to others is a heap of delight; why should we give it up and bring pain on ourselves?
