The path cannot be walked without provisions in hand; the body suffers, and one must beg along the way. Do not do this to yourself. All of you, constantly say Rama, Rama. If you waste time pampering wife and children without uttering Rama's name, you will fall into Yama's hands and be tormented through eighty-four lakh births. One whose mouth never holds Rama's name is a self-slayer. Says Tuka, such a fool has no shame at all.

You cannot walk the road with no provisions in your bundle; the body is ruined, and you end up begging along the way. Do not do this to yourselves. All of you, say Rama, Rama, every day. If you spend your time fussing over wife and children and never call Rama's name, you will fall into Yama's hands, and the eighty-four lakh births will torment you. The one whose mouth never holds Rama is his own murderer. Tuka says: such a fool has no shame at all.
