2033 - Let us be dumb and blind

Slothfulness begets sensual desires, give us strength by the utterance of thy name! For other speech let our mouths be dumb; I see thy feet alone, says Tuka, to all else I am blind.

2086 - I have the experience

Think not that my words are vain; I urge my prayer with earnest entreaty. How can I insist on approaching thy feet? We thy servants must cry to thee for mercy. What care I for the name of one that embraces thy feet? I have the experience which they yield. I persist in speech to please my mind that has tasted this comfort; my spirit hovers near them as though it were crazy. I desire, says Tuka, to look on thy glorious face.

2088 - Loving the milk of love

I am so eager that I know not what patience is; come, satisfy my longings. Seek not to make any delay; let there be the same eagerness in both of us. Sustain me in this love for the milk of love; it will not itself dwell within me for ever. Tuka says, Do not let me grow absorbed in other amusements; I have watched with care for the hour of dining with thee.

2148 - Praying with childish delight

Wheresoever I go, you are my companion; you take me by the hand and guide me. As I walk along, I lean on thee, you go with me carrying my burden. If I speak wildly, you order my words; thou hast taken away my shame, I am made bold. I look on all mankind as gods and protectors; they are all kindred and dear to my soul. Now, says Tuka, I pray with childish delight; I feel thy bliss within and without me.

2182 - I have played freely with thee

I have no capital save to fall at thy feet; did I not so, how could my words reach thy feet? Nevertheless I have played freely with thee like a child; I am thy pet, thy fondling. What is right for me is to serve thee, says Tuka, I must reserve nothing from thee.
