Tukaram, Poem 2721

It is a sign of God’s presence that when He enters a man’s house, His manhood is crushed by a stone. God brings ruin with him; He suffers none to remain separate from Himself. God does not leave us entangled in desire; He does not let the snare of affection touch us. God does not leave our speech entangled, or let the taint of falsehood pollute us. God rends the net of illusion, He annihilates the world. Lo! all these signs of His presence are with Tuka; God has seized this place for His own.
