Tukaram, Poem 2290

Two roads there are that pass of guilt and merit, they end in heaven and hell. First comes one then the other — you need not ask me; you see how hunger follows a meal. What is set on the wheel is first filled and then emptied; the pots come up and go down again. Tuka says, In the play of life we never see a mind made steady.
