Tukaram, Poem 3320

The giver is the consort of Lakshmi; how small
is the boon I ask! He knows the thirst of
the thirsty; but you cannot lessen the Ganges by
drinking it. If it is the wishing-tree that is the
giver, what will it cost it to satisfy one hungry man?
Tuka says, By ceaseless contemplation, we have
got hold of the highest Brahma.
