Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 536

The servants of Vishnu know that all is full of Him; others have to carry burdens on their heads. All devices and penances are a burden; the only plan is to throw off pride. Pride is hard indeed; even adamant may be broken, but the net of illusion cannot be severed. Tuka says, Through worship we shall discover the secret, all others will find the world a barren waste.
