If a man is a mere corpse, a charnel house, who is a clown void of divine love and service. Such fellows feed like dogs and open their house to the spirits of hell. Where no image is worshipped, refuse thou to dwell; it is an abode of thieves and scoundrels. Tuka says, If a man knows not his true position and powers of the mind, he is a retainer of Yama, beyond reform.
