Tukaram, Poem 2886

While God is all the time in His body, the ill-starred wretch goes wandering idly in search of Him. While God is all the time within him, he goes idly from one sacred place to another. The musk is in the navel of the musk-deer, but the deer goes idly wandering about the forest. As the sugar-cane is the very source of sugar, so does God show Himself in all creatures. Butter is concealed in milk, but there are men who know not how to churn it out. Tuka says to foolish mankind, How is it you cannot see God in your own bodies?
