Patience is the key, and single-minded devotion. A chaste wife serves with her whole being. The chataka bird will not look at any other water; it holds its life in its throat, waiting only for the rain cloud. The sun-facing lotus refuses the moonlight and waits solely for dawn. A cow will not let any other calf near; she gives milk only for her own. Says Tuka, when devotion is pledged at the cost of one's life, only then do these truths about Vithoba hold.
