Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 524

Means of liberation present themselves in
many forms, but consider whether they
attain the end; it is the end of churning to produce
butter. A bird meets with no obstacle on its way;
it flies through the heavens to its goal. You can
attain devotion by renouncing the world wholly,
you need it not much, little or in moderate degree.
Tuka says, If you have merit stored up from the
past, to-day, suddenly, you may meet with perfect
satisfaction.
