Tukaram, Poem 2408

The field is sown; the harvest is afterwards carried home in carts. For a time it seems as though the seed were wasted, yet it contains future gain within it. If all the sprouts are carefully watched, then the land is filled with ears. Tuka says, If you water the beds, you will reap a crop.
