Tukaram, Poem 995

If a man has faith, a stone will save him; but how can a good man help a wicked one? Though you straighten a dog’s tail, it will not get so; what can the magic stone make of a potsherd? Though you dig a trench and fill it with sugar, yet the seed planted in it bears fruit like itself. Tuka says, Even adamant is sometimes broken, but these wretches are harder still.
