Abhanga 311The Nature of God

God's Protecting Love

English Translation · I.P. 311

THE mother understands the child's secret, his joys, his griefs and all his actions. He who lends a support to a blind man, he understands his purposes. He who has set a suppliant behind him, he knows how to protect him. If one holds the girdle of a man in the water, he takes him over the stream without fatigue. Tuka says, If a man has entrusted his lip to Vitthala, he knows his condition.

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