Tukaram, Poem 2561

He who admits not the authority of the Scripture—his face you should not see. A sceptic considers his own body a stranger to himself; his follies are like those of a drunken man. If a man speak ill of his mother, what is left to support his own character? A pot is broken in his name. Tuka says, If a man enters the jungle of idle thoughts, his words are foolishness.
