Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 321

The circles of sin and merit, of joy and pain, spread outwards impelled by each other. I have seen all these marvels with my own eyes; it is time that sets in motion the souls of men. When the soul has visited heaven, then follows hell; the one succeeds the other. Tuka says, My mind has taken fright; O clasp me to your side, Narayana.
