Tukaram, Poem 34

’Tis well I was created a Kunbi, otherwise I should have perished of pride; Thou hast done well, O Lord God. Tuka leaps to his feet and dances. If I had had any knowledge, I should have been in danger, I should have missed the service of holy men, I should have fallen into fruitless ignorance; I should have been puffed up with conceit, I should have followed the path of destruction. Tuka says, Where human greatness is, there follows hell; the punishment of pride.
