Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 537

You may seek to attain all gods, but these faults of yours stand in the way, for the two things are incompatible, they will not go together. If you plant sugar-cane and onions in the same trench, their flavour and sweetness are different. Tuka says, Poison and nectar will not go together.
