Tukaram, Poem 861

When a man is repeating God’s name, he is a low wretch if he suffers anger to approach him. If you wear ashes on your person, then do not stare round you at the world. We are surrounded by the wicked; we have to eat along with them. Tuka says, He attains Brahma who leaves actions behind him.
