Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 2847

Thou hast created us and bestowed on us properties; it is fit therefore that thou shouldst
protect us. For Thyself Thou hast no desires in
respect of pleasure or pain, but thou shouldst not
see thy servants lack anything; Thou shouldst give
them what they need. Tuka says, O Feeder of
the Universe, direct Thy glance to what is straight
before thee!
