Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 962

Dwell not on rules and prohibitions; remember
in your heart Panduranga. When you
have eaten your food, do not complain that there
was a fly in it; for it all goes down at one mouthful.
You can make this acquisition easily, but
you will find it hard to keep. Tuka says, Spare no
labour to obtain; without a poultice of neem-tree
leaves you cannot dispel pain.
