Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 2461

With the luckless man even one or two
successes are rare; the lucky man enjoys
repose in him whose visible form is the universe.
To the luckless man holy places and the gods are
ever distant; to the good the universe overflows
with good things. Tuka says, Some carry loads
of fuel on their heads; while others, luckier than
they, find them coming into their houses.
