Tukaram, Poem 3057

We say, there is no one to prevent Thee from coming to us; it seems Thou art afraid. It must be my own fate that has turned Thee back; though Thou sustainest the universe, Thou hast no power to control fate. We put full trust in Thee, we often cry out Thy name. Tuka says, The five elements have entrapped me and laid me on the threshing-floor.
