Tukaram, Poem 2208

A man who has truly become God himself will look on all mankind as gods. Others do but tell loafing tales to amuse their hearers. A man who has dined cannot understand that others are hungry and thirsty, he thinks they are comfortable like himself. Tuka says, What we want is experience, tall talk is idle.
