Many lead lives of self-indulgence; do not separate a part of your mind to keep company with them. Preserve your own faith and the delight in love which you have learned. The worship of Hari is a mother who gives peace and joy and rest and shelter to the weary. Tuka says, If a man ties a stone to his back and drowns himself, who would run to rescue him?
