Tukaram, Poem 3006

The right has been given, but the mind cannot profit by it; the attributes that envelop the mind war against it; lust, anger, arrogance, jealousy, selfishness, fault-finding, dislike, utter folly, and greed. These heavy forces of the senses roam about like thieves, seeking to dig or break into houses. Against them all efforts of mine fail; the secret of success Thou alone knowest. Now then, says Tuka, I shall take such steps as will lead me to Thy feet.
