Tukaram, Poem 8441

By making void the world, we have brought into
existence a course of duty ever broadening
and full of merit. The worship of Hari has
conferred lustre on the world; the assault of Kali
has been repulsed. I need no means of approach
now; I have done what was needed; I have given
up all sense of the body. Tuka says, In the story
of Hari is the bliss of mystic union; he who sings
it knows naught of the misery of the world.
