Though you become a reasoner or a reader, still listen
with devotion to the story of Krishna. As
when milk and ghee and sugar are mingled, such is
the savour of its sweetness. Learn its worth, O
father, and tie it up in your cloth, keep it by you;
this sweetness is manifold. If you desire to save
yourself, dig up the mischievous root of learning.
Wealth of flowers and sandal smeared on the
body,—without food to eat, these ornaments are
vain, and such is all sweetness apart from the story
of Hari. That which the Vedas and Puranas intend
is all contained in the story of Vitthala. Tuka says,
Others are mere granaries of gravel; mere jingle is
the chief thing there.
