Tukaram, Poem 2102

Time eats up the world; we have set our feet on his head. He stands still where we dance; if a weakness passes over us, he comes to our help. Though in his hunger he was eating up everything, he is satisfied with Hari’s attributes. Tuka says, He has now grown slow; though he was boiling, he is cool now.
