Tukaram, Poem 2950

Such faith I have offered thee unreservedly; Thou art all to me with all my heart. Knowest Thou not all that passes in the heart? Yet Thou makest me speak because Thou likest to hear me. On Thee is placed all my load to bear; in this matter what are words of mine worth? Man’s own nature makes him seek his interest through self-interest; Thou in thy wondrous doing dost choose this impulse for Thy own purpose. Thou knowest well, O God, says Tuk, our innermost nature.
