Tukaram, Poem 3466

The ignorant seek for wealth through devotion; how can there be any true perception in their souls? The ignorant offer worship with their thoughts full of desire; how can they bring God before their minds? They perform rites with their thoughts set on gain; how can they find means of approach wherein are no selfish aims? Their knowledge is of objects sensuous; how can they attain to the eternal Bramha? Fie on their faces! says Tuka; they recruit the bandit-hordes of ignorance.
