Tukaram, Poem 2698

Should destiny send the Ganges to an idle man, ought people to refuse to bathe in it? Should the wishing-cow stand in a Manga’s yard, ought Bramhanas not to bow to her? Should a leprous man take the magic-stone and make gold with it, ought we to refuse it as impure? Should a village officer be a man of low caste, ought we to refuse to obey him? Tuka likewise is sealed to be an officer of faith with Vitthoba; if men heed him not their faces shall be blackened.
