Tukaram, Poem 3447

I was far from thee while I cherished doubts of
my own; I did not understand the true nature
of the distinction between us. Now thou shalt be
my companion everywhere; I shall not leave thee
anywhere space to hide in. The illusive world
made me late in coming to thee; hence this distance
that was left between us. Tuka says, Why
dost thou show thyself as separate from us?
What a waste of labour is the game of hide-and-
seek!
