Tukaram, Poem 564

“The gift of a daughter with her marriage ornaments is nothing less than a gift of the world.” So one says, but the foolish fellow knows not the truth; he will know it some day by suffering. If you do your worldly duties, you will fill your stomach, but you will let religion perish. God helps the truth; practise it and you will see for yourself. Food, honour and wealth are a matter of destiny. Tuka says, Enjoy pleasure now if you will; it will turn to destruction some day.
