Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 868

If you whirl round yourself, the world seems to be whirling round you; if you stand still yourself, everything seems to be steady. If you shout in a forest place, you hear a second sound arise. The moon moves forward because the clouds move. Tuka says, The impression is false.
