Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 3721

He instructs His pupils that the worship of their
spiritual guide is their chief duty. He
gives them an example of ceremonial righteousness;
he carries the staff, the pot, the wreath; he
remembers the ochre robe; but all to no purpose
does he call himself a sanyasi. Tuka says, If he
cannot get rid of lust, he will not gain his end.
