Tukaram, Poem 2327

Thou art free from attachments and change,
the world has no power over Thee. Make
and keep me like that, root out desire from me.
Thou hast to continue solitary; it is not Thy por-
tion to suffer any distress. Tuka says, A crystal
does not unite with any of the colours that shine
through it.
