Tukaram, Poem 501

Bind it, son, daughter, or brother, you must act
yourself free from them. If you find them to
be mischievous, you must not touch them and cover
yourself with blame. Break the pot! At one stroke
make them as dead to you! Tuka says, Unless you
renounce them, you will not escape the fruits of
their company.
