Tukaram, Poem 2764

Why should I feel shy? I have laid aside hesitation and opened my mouth. Here, on earth, no notice is taken of a dumb creature; no real good can be secured by over-modesty. Such words as occur to me I address to my lord; I embolden my soul and pass straight on. Tuka says, O mind of mine, you have to wrestle with the powerful; slap your thighs and stand forward.
