Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 2316

If you are to become an ascetic, do it in this
spirit, renounce desires of the world; it
matters not to Thee whether you live in town or forest,
sleep on a cot or on a rock. Cut off pride and lay
aside the impulses of feeling; be at once the sky,
says Tuka, and the innermost atom of being.
