Tukaram, Poem 2295

I know that we have passed through the womb; you have increased our sins and sufferings thereby. What can I say of this strange device? It is a snare like that of a thug. You set one man running and another pursuing him, to enjoy the fun of the thing, O God! Tuka says, He who has set things in motion, how is it he cannot stop them?
