Tukaram, Poem 3653

He scorns instruction; he does not understand his future good. Within this hell of a town, he inflicts sufferings on men; but there are others who have power over him. He stores up vices, and grapples them to his soul. Tuka says, Dullness of comprehension makes men give up purity in deed.
