Tukaram, Poem 2976

For our sins in the past our body is punished; no blame rests on Thee, O Narayana! A man sows bitter cummin seeds and looks for fruits of nectar; but how can plantains grow on the swallow-wort? Pleasure and pain are the appointed lot of the body; a man should not throw away knowledge. Tuka says, A man should not grow angry with God; he should ask his own mind, “What have I done?”
