Religion

The Divine Inspiration

by Tukaram 1608–1649

Translated by Nicol Macnicol (1919) · From Psalms of Maratha Saints (1919)

Religion

'Tis not I who speak so featly;
All my words my Lover's are.
Hark, Salunki singing sweetly,
Taught, as I, by One afar.
How could I, abject, achieve it?

'Tis the all-upholding One.
Deep his skill, who can conceive it?

He can make the lame to run.
