Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 2740

These are no borrowed words, no worthless chaff meant to amuse men. I have a close train of experiences; they are never far from me. What is needed is something with a flavour; what use are insipid words? Tuka says, Who would take any interest in a man who lurks behind ashamed?
