Tukaram, Poem 1355

Purify your minds! Though you cannot do
it, yet do it when a fit season
arises. Nothing passes with you beyond this life
save your store of good and evil deeds. There is
still time before you; make allies of your senses,
you have an appointed place in this world of
action; determine for yourselves what you should
do. Tuka says, You have an excellent possession,
your body and the present hour, yet you let them
slip from you.
