Tukaram, Poem 2967

We must first clear the road, then we can walk along it without getting caught in anything. This principle of the wise and good has come down from ancient times; a traffic in guilt and merit is full of snares. If you have to run, throw aside your cloak; if you are encumbered you will be caught. Tuka says, This is how to distinguish the valiant; weak creatures are caught in the snares of time.
