Tukaram, Poem 409

If we meet you time after time is misleading,
O heedless one! What good can we get from you? We shall simply lose ourselves. If a man
does not recover his principal, he may die while he
is counting the interest. Tuka says, Such is the
character you have impressed on the three worlds.
