Tukaram, Poem 3648

He speaks politely to the prosperous; he spends his own money in making a show before them. Such is the vile character of degraded men; they do not know what they ought to do. They will not pour water on the hands of the thirsty; but they give others sugar even before they ask for it. They go to meet the prosperous and invite them to their houses; but they hide away their bread at the sight of others. They will not speak a straightforward word to these; to the others, they call themselves sons of their maid-servants. Tuka says, They are mere asses; they waste their lives.
