Tukaram, Poem 1064

He who finds fault with the Vedas is a low and sinful, a polluted wretch. If a man sets fire to his own house, where will he find a place to live in? Tuka declares the secret; the rest are led astray by error.
If you mean to sing, then sing Vitthala alone; if not, remain silent where you are. If you hold that absolute union is the end, then you will not need speech; you are wasting your efforts on knowledge in vain. Tuka says, How often shall I put you to shame? The shameless man does not know what shame is.
