You must know what is right; the chief duties
come first; the mind has to be purified and
the spirit made steady. You must not follow the
promptings of the mind; you must love the teaching
of the saints. If you trust to these precepts, you
need no further admonition, says Tuka.
A story of the Puranas is like a sweet juice;
these poems are not idle words or empty chaff.
Receive them in faith; go once at least to Pandhari.
By good fortune you have entered into a human
body; then visit Vitthala; He will sweep away your
store of sin and merit. Take in your hand the
cymbals and sing His praises. Tuka says, You need
no art in dialectics; you need not search for the
path.
