Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 1049

A sluggish mind resembles the lazy body; it takes a good judge to discern them. Some men contemplate God and utter his Name; others lie down and go to sleep. Some renounce all; others are all alert to fill their stomachs; some profess love for the sake of their stomachs, others seek true union with God. Each has His own principle within him; but the fruits thereof are diverse, says Tuka.
