His devotion to one God, ``the True, the Immortal, the Self-existent, the Pure, the Invisible,'' made him reject incarnations and idols as abominations, while his insistence on right conduct cut away the basis of ritualistic practices and set prayers. As he said, repeating the words of Kabir, ``O brethren, the Vedas and the Quran are false, and free not the mind from anxiety......God can be obtained by humility and prayer, self-restraint, searching of the heart, and fixed gaze on Him.'' (Mac. i. 177.)
