Tukaram, Poem 3101

Who will help me to find comfort in thee? If
thou wouldst be called Purifier of the Sinful,
fence me round on all sides. If not, give up the
badge of Thy claim. Fulfil your promises, then
people will respect You. Take your part in the
world out of respect for people’s opinions; do not
let your promises fail. Such is not the case with
You and me, says Tuka; you will be my bosom
friend.
