Shri Tukaram Charitam I Vol III Book VIII Chp 8 Shlokas 18 - 21
एवं वैराग्यसंपूर्णो विष्णुभक्तशिरोमणिः |
दारिद्र्येणैव सन्तुष्टक्ष्चक्रे विट्ठलकीर्तनम् ||
भक्तानामात्माकामानां विरक्तानां महात्मनाम् |
न ददाति धनं हन्त श्रियः पतिरपि स्वयम् ||
नानाविधानि गीतानि विधाय स्वयमेव हि |
रात्रौ सङ्कीर्तयामास भक्तानां मण्डलेप्ययम् ||
नित्यं जनाक्ष्च बहवः समागच्छन्ति सादरम् |
तुकारामस्य भक्तस्य श्रोतुं हारिकथाम्रुतम् ||
The completely self renounced Tukaram, the gem among the bhaktas of Lord Vishnu, was contented even while living in poverty and continued singing in praise of Lord Panduranga. What a wonder it is! Even the Lord, the consort of Devi Lakshmi, never gives wealth to the self renounced great ones and others who are His devotees and are desirous of getting Him alone as their wealth. The exalted personality Tukaram used to compose many songs and sing them in the midst of the bhaktas at night time regularly. Many people used to come to him and daily desirous of drinking the nectar of the accounts of Shri Hari narrated by the bhakta, Tukaram.
