Tukaram, Poem 1051

Let me whose protection you have sought: you have made indifference your great crime. Who has given you this advice, “Do not go for protection to Vitthala”? When Yama lays you prostrate on the earth, who will shield you from him? Why do you rob yourself? Time eats up your life; your strength decays from day to day. Tuka says, Explain to him, someone, that he has forgotten his parents.
