Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 705

He is truly liberated who feels no misgivings; shame and anxious care are bound up with fond desire. He is happy who embraces peace and solitude; he is wretched who dwells in the world and plays the hypocrite. Tuka says, Little reflection is needed over this, but outward shows reduce one to misery.
