Tukaram, Poem 7

As an actor plays a part, as a heron assumes a
contemplative attitude to catch fish, so a
hypocrite wears a garland and marks his forehead,
but he keeps his secret guile from the sight of the
world. As an angler offers a morsel to the fish
but keeps them ignorant of the guile within; as
a butcher kindly protects his beasts, while he
carries a knife to cut their throats; Tuka says, Even
so I am a simple man in the world, but you are
merciful, O Panduranga.
