Tukaram, Poem 2476

A wicked man is such by nature that some day he will have to lick the dust. His cleverness is his ruin; he talks foolish and wicked nonsense. See, he looks suspiciously on the Saints, he fixes his eyes on their shortcomings. In a wicked man’s eyes, says Tuka, there is nothing high or low.
