Tukaram, Poem 10

It is vain to tell the secret to the world; we
must leave men to their own wanderings. In
vain do they pretend to run after us; they return
empty and dejected. Though we teach them,
they will not learn and lay the matter to heart.
Tuka says, Unless they have true experience they
will still be wretched.
