Tukaram, Poem 2218

If the cock should fail to crow, will there be ...? He would be mad who persisted in thinking so. If you help in a task that is nearly finished, you will get a share for nothing; if you interrupt people, they will spit in your face! The maker has fixed the just time for everything.
But we exert ourselves to make it unfavourable, Tuka says, When God assists, He makes the incomplete complete.
