Analysis of All men to me are god-like Gods!

Sant Tukaram 1598 (Dehu, Pune Maharashtra) – 1649 (Dehu)



All men to me are god-like Gods!
My eyes no longer see
vice or fault.

Life on this suffering earth
is now endless delight;
the heart at rest, full,
overflowing.

In the mirror, the face and its reflection --
they watch each other;
different, but one.

And, when the stream pours into the ocean...
no more stream!
