Tukaram, Poem 2138

I have now well learned the nature of God; who can keep Thy secret from me now? Why hast Thou hitherto beaten me? There is a rivalry between us now. Whatever I say clings to Thee, so now I shall revile Thee. Thou art void of shame; without caste or kin; people know Thee for a thief and a vicious wretch. Thou devourest stones, earth, living creatures and trees and the lonely wanderer in a foreign land. I have known Thee for an ass, a dog, an ox, a beast of burden. Many found thee false in days gone by; this has been my experience too. Tuka says, O hypocrite, Thou hast moved me to anger; now I cannot restrain my mouth.
