Tukaram, Poem 3043

O God, Thou forgettest why we have burned up:
I have placed no demand before Thee; yet Thou art troubled for fear I should worry thee. Do not think, however, that any device will save Thee from my importunities. I cannot bear to be parted from Thee now; it would be death to me to quit Thy feet. Tuka says, What I ask Thee for now is a dwelling-place at Thy feet.
