Tukaram, Poem 2413

You must pick out the pebbles, then you can grind your corn properly; otherwise it will be spoiled; your own indolence is to blame, vexation follows. You must look after your field and pluck up the weeds; Tuka says, If you forget what is proper to be done, you will profit nothing.
