Tukaram, Poem 2212

Who shall annul what the mighty One has done? Whatever fruitless efforts you make, they only end in trouble and vain desires. Let each enjoy what he has stored up for himself; every man’s fate is in his own hands, and grumblers will be put to shame. Tuka says, Millions of fools are born to suffer sharp anguish in their hearts.
