Tukaram, Poem 770

Though life be sad, yet let Hari’s name be proclaimed, and who will be lucky enough to be born?
He must possess stores of treasured merit; that man alone deserves the privilege.
Why are you waiting, O brothers! Show yourselves active and dance for joy.
Eat freely of joy, leave none of it over!
The joy which you behold, if we can only drink it up, then, says Tuka, what is this world of Time? A mere nothing!
