Tukaram, Poem 561

Before she has borne a child, if a woman performs joyful ceremonies, she is a silly creature practising nonsense. What is the good of such public display? The mere mention of sugar brings no pleasure. A forced attempt to belch will not make a man fat; he will still look thin and miserable. Tuka says, You talkative men, listen to me; if you have no experience, do not assume the exterior of knowledge.
