Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 2289

I call myself the servant of Hari, but I care not whether I be such or no. This is my resolution, but I myself stand apart from my resolution. Through me actions are accomplished, but I myself am not identified with them. Tuka is tested in the balances, yet it is not Tuka that is tested.
