The Price?

By Sant Tukaram

If you treat the opposite sex with reverence

will you pay a price?

If you stop your fault-finding and covetous ways

will your earnings not suffice?

If you sit in prayer and meditation

will it cost a living wage?

If you trust the words of realized souls

will your boss forget your pay?

Is it a burden to pursue wisdom?

Do you fear the price it brings?

Tuka says,

Fools worry about the little stuff.

Don't they know? God brings everything!
