Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 2632

I heed not the learned and instructed; there are many sorts of them each with his own faith. They fatten up their bodies and counsel other men to do likewise; there is not a vestige of love in them. I heed not ascetics and preachers of Hari, their views are many and diverse; I may salute them out of courtesy, says Tuka, but what I delight in is purity of heart.
