Reading note
Honesty as devotion
Tukaram does not make the speaker look polished. Fatigue, contradiction, dependence, and tenderness all remain visible. This honesty is part of the devotion.
Tukaram
An Abhang of Humility
Tukaram’s devotional voice is candid, self-questioning, and tender.
Why return to it
It makes room for the imperfect reader. You do not need to arrive serene before you begin.
