Tukaram, Poem 3498 a

The body will pass away; Thou stone, understandest thou not? What are elephants, horses, palaces, quilts, couches, and pillows? When old age comes along, they will bring shame on you. Thy kith and kin are but as cranes that eat up the harvest. Awake ere it is too late, says Tuka; there is danger ahead of you!
