Tukaram, Poem 3279

So niggardly art thou, O Govinda, that thou wouldst not give away even thy superfluities. This habit of thine we cannot understand. Thou requirest us to serve Thee with all our members; if we cheat Thee of one, Thou canst not brook it. Since Tuka has renounced all action, why dost Thou exact such toil from him?
