Be at Peace...

"Of what use is all this restless, busy activity?
This heavy weight of worldly concerns?

God's purpose stands firm,
And you, His dear one, need but one thing --
Trust that He will fulfill you highest need."

Tukaram
in Jonathan Star
_Two Suns Rising: A Collection of Sacred Writings_
NY: Bantam, 1991, p. 185

[Tukaram was a Hindu Perfect Master who lived in
Maharahtra, India in the first half of the seventeenth
century. Although born an illiterate peasant who never
studied formally, he is considered one of the greatest
Maharathi poets in the Bhakti tradition. He gave
thanks that he was not learned, for he said that it
would have led to arrogance. tjh]
