Tukaram, Poem 3203

The street-juggler may play the part of Narayana by making himself up for it; but he remains a juggler after all. Men give the name ‘God’ to a stone, and faith in it can save a man; yet it remains what it was. You might call the dhatura ‘the Golden Tree,’ and place it on your head to honour it; but it would not take rank among your possessions. Tuka says, It is a man’s faith that saves him; the sense of self destroys him.
