Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 3342

The penitent man—he who has forgotten his
pride at the words of the ancient sages—let
him set his feet on my forehead; it will be a time
of blessing when I eat the food left by him. They
who have spurned the six passions—who rush to
seek the Saints’ protection—Tuka says, Their very
nature will be changed; they will be pure at heart
even in their own homes.
