Tukaram, Poem 2529

Those have settled in the town of Yama who
forbade the practice of worshipping Vitthala.
Difficult practices none follow though you bid
them; all men love an easy path. Were the rishis
of old ignorant men? They compiled scriptures
to be an authority for the world. Which of them
enjoined wealth, women and riches, cherishing
of the body or sensual pleasures? Tuka says,
The man who loves these is put to shame both by
mankind and the servants of Yama.
