Tukaram, Poem 3070

Why is not the goodness of God brought home to us by experience? What delay is there on Thy side? What I ask for seems to be near thee; if I set up a quarrel with thee, what shall I gain by it? I shall not abandon the respectful demeanour of a servant; I will follow constantly the course Thou hast laid down for me. Tuka says, Thou hast withdrawn Thy hand from every side, but there is no new purpose in my mind.
