Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 1175

A heretic may find God in his own soul,
devotion in feeding himself, salvation in
death. People are ruined by these servants of the
flesh; they have made out the Vedas and Puranas
to be false. They reason in their own capricious
way, declaring that there is no rebirth. Tuka says,
The penalties of hell leap upon their back; these
rogues forget guilt and merit.
