Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 2969

I am well-off now where I am; the generous one has put me in my right place. If we take on to our head the load of words, it grows heavier, and we cannot lift it off. I shall accustom my mind to silence; I shall not let qualities develop themselves in me. Tuka says, We shall live with the cowherds; I know well what keeps me safe.
