Tukaram, Poem 2299

Pleasing and plain we should view as the end of themselves; our business should be to store up merit. To lay hold on peace for the sake of our soul, this is a sweet frame of mind. Count the body worthless; the service of others is a sure thing. Tuka says, This is our patrimony; let us plunge into the nectar of Brahma.
