Tukaram, Poem 2604

I have experienced by my senses that which
oozed from my own spirit. He is near us
or far from us by turns; he changes as our own
pleasure changes. Methinks I am to eat that
which was eaten; to meet what I met before.
Tuka says, ’Tis we who have set him upright by
our own desire for him.
