Tukaram, Poem 2170

When she is called, she comes running; this
is her true inward nature. She speaks
compassionate words; she puts me to her breast.
She knows my longings; for she is the running
spring whence all the stream of our faith proceeds.
Tuka says, When she hears her name, her love
pursues me everywhere.
