Tukaram, Poem 1030

I am astonished at these people; they will not think of their own true interests. What resources have they to make up for this? Who will help them in the latter end? What notion keeps them free from anxiety? What answer will they give to Yama’s servants? Feeble creatures that they are, how have they forgotten death? To what pleasures have they given themselves up? With nothing in their hands, what will they do? How can we learn what has happened to them? Why do they not remember Devaki’s Son, to escape from the trammels of the world? Does he need to be purchased with a price? Why do their minds not admit Him? Tuka says, Why will they pass through birth and death again? why have they forgotten the wheel-handed One?
