He must renounce all who would conquer Hari, he must give up wealth, life, soul, and body. He must away with the fascinations of the world, with love, affection, and anxious care; he must burn up the very root of sensual desire. Fear of men, vainglory and pride and envy he must banish. Peace, forbearance and compassion he must make his handmaids and send them to bring the Wheel-handed one near him. Tuka says, Shunning the pride of caste and learning, I seek the protection of the saints.
