Take whatever you can find in the marketplace, before or after you will never meet with it again. You will be tortured by fear, you will pass through the eighty-four lakhs of rebirths. None will stay with you in your pain and sorrow; the road is but one foot wide; to whom can you complain? You will be yoked to the mill; the driver will not pity you. Tuka says, Look to your welfare while it is in your power.
