Tukaram, Poem 2856

I emptied my body and made a place therein
for Panduranga; it is now an easy matter to
cherish and nurture it; what indeed matters the
body when I have full faith in Him? When ‘I’
died, this dwelling-place was prepared for him;
this lamp was kindled to all eternity. In one
instant I became as though I was not; there is
no need to say more, says Tuka.
