Tukaram, Poem 2587

The pretence of offering a Vedic sacrifice does but fetter you to the body. It is no true act of devotion or means of reaching the mother world; you have but fettered yourself to pleasures. If your hopes are set on gaining something, what will pilgrimages or observances profit you? Tuka says, If you do not supplicate the Lord of Pandhari, you are troubling yourself in vain.
