Tukaram, Poem 3348

With so much gained, should loss result, whom will you blame in the end? The valiant man bears every blow that falls on him; when once he has advanced his foot, he does not draw it back. His danger I compare to the obstacles that threaten us when we stray from the feet of Govinda. The battle-field of life is a critical place, says Tuka; results will be proportioned to the efforts you put forth.
