Tukaram, Poem 1164

If any speech leads you into error, you are de-
ceived in making friendly or affectionate use
of it. If the Vedic rule enjoins it, then it is
necessary; but much of it is an evil. The fetter of
fluent speech is altogether mischievous. Tuka
says, It is well to put it far from you.
