Tukaram, Poem 2882

If any one thinks that God is in holy places and others are void of Him, this is the error of a man who professes knowledge. God has a good reason for avoiding him; the influence of his past is an obstacle between Him and God. The notion that some places are pure and others impure leads to a distinction between things innocent and things sinful; this will bring the wrong consequences. Tuka says, The true secret is that God fills the universe; if we miss Him all religious observances are futile.
