Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 954

Now I give you this advice, do not waste your
lives. I cast myself at the feet of all, be-
seeching you to purify yourselves. Make this your
gain, the contemplation of God, with a mind centred
in Him. Tuka says, Practise a trade that brings
true profit; why should I teach you incessantly?
