Tukaram, Poem 2521

The saints love not honour, but he who slights them perishes; draw not near to such a one, for he is destroyed in his wickedness. He of little faith is encumbered by his own doubts, they make him fail in his duties. Tuka says, When a visit embarrasses a man, it is improper to visit him.
