Tukaram, Poem 2783

Within fifteen days I saw his form visibly; the formless Vitthoba met my gaze. “Know that I made my dwelling on the top of mount Bhamba; I made steady the impulses of my mind in the highest Bramha. Viewing the hour as my last, I sat down in a steady posture, and began to meditate on the divine. Snakes, scorpions, and tigers beset and assailed me. As camphor disappears in a flame, so did my body disappear,” says Tuka.
