Tukaram, Poem 2947

This is why he has bestowed on men gifts good
and bad, that each may have something
appropriate to him; such is the marvel accom-
plished by God. How great is his power! He is
both the string and the hand that pulls it. Tuka
says, Our eyes are filled with smoke, but truth is
truth.
