"We must forget bodily consciousness like a deer which is infatuated by music. We must look up to God, as the young ones of a tortoise look up to their mother. As a fountain rises upwards, even so must one's spirit rise to God. One should entertain no idea whatsoever, except that of God."
- Sant Tukaram,, 17th Centuary Hindu poet and sant from Maharashtra
