Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 2606

It is the saints who are gods, the saints; images
of stone are more pretentious. I approach in a
spirit of faith; be this known to all. The
quarters of the sky are void and formless spaces;
it is through the saints our desires are accomplished.
Tuka says, They are a commodity ready to hand;
if we eat this dish it fills the stomach.
