Life under the Influence of Religion
English Translation · I.P. 740
IN your passage over the sea of the world, why are you troubled ? On the farther side stands the generous one, with his hands upon his hips. Embrace his feet; the Lord of the world seeks no price from you; in return for faith alone he lifts you upon his shoulder. Live in the world and enjoy it, but do not give up the two days of pilgrimage; mercy and forbearance shall visit your house with fond affection. You shall not be anxious for worldly pleasure or liberation; poverty and misery shall not vex you, says Tuka, if you embrace Panduranga, the generous one.
Tr. J. Nelson Fraser & K.B. Marathe (1909)
