Tukaram, Poem 3511

If a man shows a road to another, what does he
lose by this? But if another goes by the wrong
road in spite of warning, he is ruined. How many
people have gone wrong in this way! In spite
of warnings, they ate poison. If a man looks care-
fully round him, he will not lose his life, he will
not perish. Tuka says, If a man is weary of life,
what can be done for him, O Keshava?
