Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 3445

Either father, mother, nor wealth can accompany you; you must suffer that which
your store of merit brings to pass. Consider then
what will really advantage you; do not attach yourself to the ways of the world. You will, some day,
leave life behind you; there is no reality about the
body. Tuka says, Time has taken in hand the
measure; he is gathering up thy sin and merit.
