Tukaram, Poem 3383 b

That my spirit was reborn within his spirit, this
is the doing of my master. If he bestows the
gift of his favour upon me, then I shall see his
wondrous work. If a fearless spirit is implanted
in me, his orders I shall obey. To spread devotion
abroad, we employ the services of bards. For our
success, our master must answer; the servants
need do nothing but serve. Tuka says, To one as
persistent as I am, some answer should be
vouchsafed.
