Tukaram, Poem 2475

He who looks on holy streams as though they were mere water, he is wasted like connection with a barren wife or blades of a withered crop. The impious man is like a mourner or a low caste fellow; he is always in trouble and never escapes from it. He who looks to the outside and thinks the body is everything, he is always miserable, says Tuka.
