Tukaram, Poem 1060

When the body is heated by fever, milk tastes like poison; so it is with him who has banished God’s truth, a raving fever fastens upon him. When jaundice affects a man’s eyes, he sees the moon of a yellow colour. Tuka says, When a man loves spirituous drinks, he cannot taste the sweetness of butter.
