Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 2609

The mind seeks to put an end to mortification;
it calls in the senses as allies; therefore
I have chosen to preach Thee with attributes.
Though we sound the Shrutis and Smritis, we
shall find single-minded faith in them; the name
of Vitthoba, says Tuka, is the essence of all things;
it suffers no change.
