We must look into sacred books before we
preach; then only will preaching bear
fruit. It will otherwise be idle talk; the vestiges
of desire will survive it. Study the Vedas before
you sing the attributes of Hari; your knowledge
will then be truly acquired. You will then ac-
complish the aim of penance and pilgrimage.
Tuka says, Do not run after toilsome tasks; hold
fast this one essential.
