Tukaram, Poem 2105

All kinds of pleasures fall at our feet and
honour us—but who would cast an eye upon
them? What we delight in is the company of the
saints and the name of Vitthoba. What we ask of
him is to serve Him; who would desire the hapless
state of liberation? Tuka says, We have stored
up God in our breast; that He is less or greater
than others—what have we to do with any such
thought?
