Tukaram, Poem 3315

Whatsoever wishes arise within me, take
Thou, O Narayana, the place of them. What
particular wish need I distinctly state? Thou
knowest every aspect of the mind. What other
friend have I than Thee, to whom I may tell my
desires? The whole world has turned slanderous
towards me; I cannot recall who are my friends
or my enemies. Thou art the soul of our souls:
my peace rests with Thee, says Tuka.
