Tukaram, Poem 2252

Much and weighty though a man’s merit be, if he is merciful towards all creatures, then alone is he a devotee of Hari. He styles himself
I HAVE now reached the true fruit of my birth
ye saints, ye have saved me from fear and
anxious care. Tuka says, I am fully blessed ; the
world can force me to its ways no more.
