Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 151

If I praise any other than Thee, let my tongue rot away. If I care for any other, let my head be crushed. If I find pleasure in others, surely it is sinful that very instant. If the ears drink no nectar of God’s glory, what use are they?
Tuka says, If I forget Thee for one moment, what purpose can life serve?
