Tukaram, Poem 2066

Wherever we fix our faith with our thoughts earnestly bent upon God, there He who pervades the universe dwells. When schemes of gain have vanished, how can there be any trace of merit or demerit left? When the mind is purified, then only its faith is untainted, pollution clings to an impure mind. Tuka says, Each man's conscience bears witness to itself; by a man’s actions we may learn what his life in the body is like.
