Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 1165

They cut the throats of others, there is no end
to their cruelty; poor wretches, they are
running into debt, they will have to taste of hell.
They paint a red stone to make a god; they
promise an offering to it. Tuka says, This is mere
child’s play; they would cry out, if others hurt them
but a little.
