Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 2596

If a man mixes in his bath the dung and urine
of cows, how can he be purified thereby?
There will be no chance for those wretches to
be saved, if they turn their faces from the feet
of the saints. He who damages the raft that
bears him will be drowned; he is the very image
of guilt. Tuka says, When destiny is adverse to
us, then misfortune overtakes us.
