Abhanga 786Devotion to Vitthal

Life under the Influence of Religion

English Translation · I.P. 786

IT is good to sing the praises of God, for thus the body becomes an image of him. Through love and joy it dances and sways from side to side, till every mortal sense vanishes. The life of man is bound up in one spot; God is connected with all creatures. Tuka says, When God alone is left with us, at that season all fear vanishes.

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