Tukaram, Poem 2600

It is not right Thou shouldst disregard us; long
ago Thou didst hold us as loving Thee. Thou
knowest the subtlety of Thy own form, thou canst
receive into Thyself even such a soul as ours.
Why didst thou assume a form, to keep us wakeful?
Tuki says, I have been modest up till now,
but now who would have any modesty left?
