Tukaram, Poem 3345

If life be parted from Narayana; then, though you have not knowledge, you may very well be stupid. The best lot in life for you is one which men dispraise; the burden of dignity is useless. Tuka says,
Let there be a settled faith in your soul—
mercy, kindness, and peace with all creatures.
