Tukaram, Poem 3479

They captured God by an effort of strength; destroying the limitations of the world. They made it their first principle to scorn the elements and the race of men; thus they made themselves lords of mankind. Tuka says, In this matter, impatience is wrong; experience will bring you the knowledge of this sweetness.
