Tukaram, Poem 3160

Send down upon us a shower, for my soul is athirst. I look up to the sky in hope; Thou knowest it, thou whose abode is the world. Thus, through union with Thee, the germ that is within me will grow and be reared up. The fruit, says Tuka, will be the full-blown lotuses at Thy feet.
