Abhanga 307The Nature of God

God's Protecting Love

English Translation · I.P. 307

^I^HOU knowest our hearts, though we tell thee 1 nothing. Thou dost pervade the world; there is no need to tell thee aught. But these desires of mine I cannot govern though 1 would; meanwhile they leave me no energy to subdue them. What do I lack since I was brought into the world? From the hour wherein I was conceived I was strengthened by you. Tuka says, I have governed my desires, and turned them from every object but Narayana.

Tr. J. Nelson Fraser & K.B. Marathe (1909)
