Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 3646

Ye shaven-headed queans, why do ye keep a store of kuku? Spend your time in honest labour for a livelihood; why do ye put on alluring airs? To whom do you show off these graces? You harass your souls for no substantial gain. Tuka says, You self-willed creatures, why this idle vanity?
