Tukaram, Poem 2501

In matters of speech we should be generous. Truthful designs will bear fruit like themselves; purity will not destroy you, it will bring you to success. If you harbour guile, what will it profit you? Your body will itself be a channel of hell. Tuka says, While you are living, direct the soul to its end; when once it is entangled it will wander from region to region.
