Tukaram, Poem 2209

To teach men what is good for them, to show them an easy path, that is right conduct. But you must not renounce us; do not forget this. Your own lips have distinguished for us right and wrong. Why hast Thou hidden thy love for me, O God? When a child wakes from slumber, his mother must feed him. The father, says Tuka, must answer for his child’s welfare.
