Tukaram, Poem 2384

If we associate with people we have the advantage of dining with them; what evil things bring us must be learned by experience. Somehow or other let our life benefit those that follow us; our teachers will support us with hands and feet. The generous will not suffer misery around them; they ever pity those that follow them. The good, says Tuka, will earn their fame only by removing the afflictions of the weak.
