Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 1073

Curses on the wretch who is subject to a wife; he has neither honour here nor life hereafter. Curses on the wretch whose mind is set on gain; he cannot welcome guests with due devotion. Curses on the lazy and sleepy man, on the greedy and intemperate glutton. Curses on him who cannot distinguish truth or renounce passion; who gives up spiritual attainments for worldly honour. Tuka says, Cursed be all such people; the censorious and contentious go to hell.
