Tukaram, Poem 3381

Milk yields curds, butter, and ghee; so, like-
wise, all visible creatures are united by a
common nature. Behold, various ornaments are
made of gold; but they share in the common
nature of gold. Various vessels are moulded out
of clay; but as clay they are all identical. Tuka
says, The same One is one and many; unity
pervades multiplicity.
