Tukaram, Poem 2145

A babe goes to his mother for comfort, without any further thought. His mother knows exactly what he wants; she rushes to him with fond delight. A babe sees no difference between a rope or a snake; he will touch fire or anything. He knows nothing about anything but his mother, says Tuka.
