The family in which a saint of God is born, whether it be of high or low caste, poor or rich, shall have its unalloyed fame blazoned through the world.
Whether man be a Brahman, a Vaish, a Shudar, a Khatri, a Dom, a Chandal or a Maleechh, he becomes pure by worshipping God. He liberates himself and the families of both his paternal and maternal parents.
That village is blessed, the birth place is blessed, and his pious family is blessed in the worlds. He has drunk the elixir of God’s name, the supreme essence, abandoning all others; he has become intoxicated with the nectar and thus renounced sin.
Among pandits, heroes and emperors, there is none equal to the saint. As the leaves of water-lily flourish near the water, remain dry in the water, like this the saints, while living in the world remain uncontaminated by it. Ravidass says the birth of such a saint is auspicious and blessed one.
