Tukaram, Poem 3437

When we need sugar, we buy it at a grocer’s shop; what concern have we with his caste or family? A tulsi-plant may spring upon a heap of refuse; why should we reject it because it grew in such a place? A cow feeds naturally on filth; is that any reason why we should not drink her milk? Tuka says, What have we to do with the rind of the jack-fruit? We should take out the seeds and eat them.
