I offer salutations to God; this is my principle; what do ablutions cost me? I sweep the road before the saints, no matter whether it brings me loss or gain. Whether you do it or not, to do it is my fond desire; for I love devotion and I have nothing else to do. I offer service to God, I preach, I dance in the temple court; I enjoy the bliss of love to the full. Tuk says, I desire not liberation; this mortal life is sweet to me when I receive it.
