I will tell you now with what emulation, with what determination I drink this juice. Even as an ant devours sugar, whatever difficulties you put in her way, even so is it with my soul; I cannot leave the feet of Keshava. The desire for sensuous objects is a field I will not cultivate. When a hungry dog meets food, he barks his life out; but he does not relinquish the morsel in his mouth. What do we mean by a mind subdued? An impassioned man looks on his life as straw; a paramour runs after her lover; such is Tuka’s devotion to God.
As when a famine-stricken man searching for food comes across a dainty meal, even so is it with my mind when it sees Thy feet. When a cat sees a pat of clotted cream it sits still with its eyes fixed upon it; even so, says Tuka, my mind thinks of pouncing on Thy feet.
