Consider the following verses by Saint Kabir: 'Pandit, look in your heart for knowledge / tell me where untouchability came from, / since you believe in it. Mix red juice, white juice and air / a body bakes in a body... / we eat by touching, we wash by touching, from a touch / the world was born. / So who's untouched, asks Kabir? / Only she who is free from delusion' How should a teacher interpret this poem to students?
