Tukaram, Poem 1009

If a man entertains the low caste creature anger,
he ceases to be a Brahmana. What atonement
can he make? It avails him not, if he quits the
body. Do not touch this villain; he is all uncleanness within. Tuka says, He who associates with
him makes himself of the same caste as his.
