Tukaram, Poem 3041

I am amazed that any misery should overtake
him who has Thy name in his mouth. How
can I tell? Perchance Thou mayest fall asleep;
I know not, O Vitthala! It is thou who must
break the snares of the world; why hast thou
neglected this? I am shocked, says Tuka; it would
seem that I have troubled myself in vain.
