Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 1673

With us saints, this is a rule observed in body,
mind and speech. We shall persevere in
giving up our own souls; we shall not let our
gains be lost. When the time comes, we shall
dispel shame and fear, Tuka says, We know the
trick, the ignorant have no rule to guide them.
