Tukaram, Poem 12

We must listen to nothing that will bring
us sorrow and separation from Your feet.
I tremble when I see destruction so near men;
I make them ashamed, but they will not listen.
What can I do, O God? I have no strength to beat
them and drive them before me to the path. Tuka
says, O Panduranga, do not set such mad men in
my sight.
