Tukaram, Poem 1564

What is round me now, I see ahead of me; I
am well where I am. What would it profit
me to increase my desires? These thirsty toils are
all in vain. It is well to steady ourselves in the
running stream; if we move on we shall never move
far enough. Tuka says, Let us lose not a moment
ere we turn our mind back.
