Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 503

Renounce pride, and then you may speak of
austerity and union attained; this is truly
a noble exercise; this you should practice. Then
the process of rebirth stops; the burden of the body
passes away. Tuka says, We ought not to retain
the tie of regard for honour or dishonour.
