I have grown sick of my own lot in the world; what do I care about social rules of conduct? I have neither kin nor friends beside God. These ears of mine listen to no talk of worldly affairs; my mind is grown weary of them. Tuka says, Show me what favour Thou wilt, but do not hold me, to no purpose, in the bonds of pleasure and pain.
