Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 3685

This practice of penance and contemplation does not attain its end with length of time; but even slow-witted men pass into a trance as they hear Thy story. There is nothing to be compared with it in the three worlds, however much we search. Tuka says, To banish my sorrows I continue among the saints.
