Answer:
from which book
Explanation:
from which book
Answer:
Make God the Center of your life. Walk the Path of Love. Serve mankind, and thus see God in all.
Cast away your clothes of traditions that you have inherited, for often those can restrain you from growing in the Love of God.
Tukaram did not favour elaborate rituals, displays of asceticism or preoccupation with austerities. He would say, "even dogs come in saffron colour and bears have matted fur. If living in caves is being spiritual then rats who inhabit caves must be doing sadhana (or, spiritual practice)."
He was opposed to the acquiring of siddhis (or spiritual attainments) as these were obstructions to authentic sadhana.
Faith in Nature was crucial to sadhana. He believed that He who facilitates the milk from the breast for the infant and the One who permits the bursting of foliage from the branches will certainly take care of me.
Most important of all was the Privilege of being a Bhakta and to exercise in life, nama japa. He would say that even God does not know the value of His Name. Even God is not aware of the power of His Name. How can He be? The lotus cannot smell its own fragrance, only the bee can. The cow knows not the sweetness of its milk, only the calf can. The oyster knows not the value of its pearl, only the jeweler can.
