Tukaram, Poem 3616

He has little understanding, yet he is a crest-jewel of self-conceit. “Who is wiser than I?” says he. He shows no respect to any one; he volunteers to persecute the saints. One who censures the saints and harps on their faults, he is soiled by every sin himself. Tuka says, A fraudulent rogue is he.
