Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 2153

We have passed beyond shame, and thus we
have gained our object. I dance with happi-
ness; I have reached the further shore of the river
of the world. His names are the gourds I have
fondly and easily tied about me. Tuka says, My
speech lingers behind; it calls on people to awake.
