Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 2251

There are some who maintain that God is all and venerate all things, but despise one. Their views are futile; it is as though they maintained that one morsel of a dish could be poisonous. It is as though a man stroked you all over your body and pulled out a single hair. There are men, says Tuka, who have not learned to control their minds.
