Tukaram, Poem 2439

The hired labourers of a rich man are satisfied, yet their master has still plenty in store. Come men, come swiftly, sweep away this miry heap of greed! If you look at the day-book of this business, you will find a very mountain of sin standing against you. Their foundation is deep, says Tuka, we must afflict our body to remove them.
