Tukaram, Poem 801

Now, O mind, cease to speak of the impious; be not careless of the name of Hari. Let us never talk of them; their name brings repentance on the tongue. No one, they say, should mention a monkey’s name in the morning; no one should even mention the wicked. Tuka says, Let us remember the auspicious one; then we shall be happy for ever.
