Tukaram, Poem 3385

Such as sincerely offer themselves to God, and
humble themselves before all mankind, they
are masters of all glory. God will not suffer them
to break away from Himself; yet, so strong is their
devotion, that they keep a place of their own.
Whether with their knowledge or without it, this
state has passed over them, so God accommodates
himself to their desire. Tuka says, Better far is
the life of the child, for the mother nourishes him
at her breast.
