Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 1573 j

Strive to see God; quit these perishable
desires. To-morrow morning falls a sacred
Monday; the twelfth of the fortnight is a holy
time. Send for the twice-born; purify your mind;
give away these gifts with due ceremony. Be not
anxious for clothes or food; our mother is Panduranga.
Tuka says, We speak at length and say
He is far off, but truly he is close to us.
