The unformed sound of speech dwells in everyone; how can a man be saved if “Rama” never issues from his lips? Truly, God dwells in all souls, yet none can be saved without seeing that other one. Truly, knowledge dwells in all men, yet without devotion it becomes not Brahma. What would be the good of practising postures, though they had been explained to you and you had learned them, unless the light of emancipation was kindled within you? Tuka says, Do not falsely assert that we are to cherish the body; you will not so attain Narayana.
