Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 64

The All-powerful dwells in all being, this first law I know well. I have been shooting forth arrows; He who is struck by one knows its power. First we must make our instruction blameless, and then we may impart it. Tuka says, If you miss the path and stray into the jungle, you will meet with thorns.
