Tukaram, Poem 3678

These are all one with Vishnu. They think a flint and a diamond are the same thing; they waste their lives in impure worship. Such say other gods are God, their life is impure and fit for the impure. It is a foolish fancy they indulge, to bestow Godhead on other gods. My master reveals this by his own mouth; it is no utterance of mine. Blessed are the Vaishnavas who worship Keshava; pure are their souls and fit for liberation. Tuka says, Who is there that has not liberation in his power? Submit yourselves to Govinda alone.
