Tukaram, Poem 3305

Tell me, which of my thoughts is unknown to
Thee? Why need I form designs of my own?
In this matter, Thy authority prevails as thou hast
established it; to testify to this, my voice proclaims
Thy commandment. When love is once born, no
bodily embrace is needed; by inner contemplation
its hue is deepened. Tuka says, What I have said
up till now is nonsense; now I have firmly fixed
my faith on Thee.
