Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 3035

I am troubled sorely by fear; the world will
terrify me by telling me things I have never
heard from the saints. The servants of Vishnu,
they will say, have no path to salvation; all their
trouble is in vain. They will scorn me for singing
thy praises; how can I express the misery I shall
feel? I am cast down, says Tuka; how shall I
meet this occasion, O Panduranga?
