Tukaram, Poem 688

If we cast forth pride and desire, the body becomes like the jewel Chintémani. If we cast forth fraud, malice and a censorious spirit, the body grows clear as crystal. Such an one need not visit holy places of liberation, nor Benares itself; all men come to him. He becomes himself chief of all holy places, liberation is gained by the sight of him. If a man’s mind is pure, what can garlands do for him? He is already adorned with all ornaments. Such men ever proclaim the attributes of Hari, joy dwells within them. Body, mind and possessions they have surrendered to the highest; they desire nothing. Tuka says, He is more glorious than the stone Parisa: how can I describe his glory?
