Tukaram, Poem 3478

Thy suppliants are men of glorious splendour. God suffers them not to be left away from Him; through the power of their faith, they have an assured place in Him. They possess all knowledge, yet they are as though they knew nothing. God Himself becomes a desire within their minds. Tuka says, A life of infant’s ignorance is best; the mother feeds her baby from her breast.
