Shri Ekanatha Charitam III Vol III Book VIII Chp 13 Shlokas 16 - 19
यात्रिका उवाच
प्राप्नोति कर्मणा दुःखं सुखं प्राप्नोति कर्मणा |
स्वीयं कर्मफलं भुङ्क्ते जीवः सर्वोsपि पण्डित ||
विट्ठलस्यैव पूजायै समानीतमिदं जलम् |
को दद्याद्गर्दभायास्मै बुद्धिमान् पापायोनये ||
एकनाथ उवाच
अयं साक्षात्पाण्डुरङ्गो नात्र कार्या विचारणा |
अस्मै दास्यामि सलिलं यूयं गच्छत दुर्भगाः ||
कारुण्यवरिजितानां वः किं पुण्यं तीर्थयात्रया |
सर्वत्र दृश्यते विष्णुः क्वचित्पापं न विद्यते ||
The pilgrims replied
Oh! Scholar! Each living being has to bear the result of its karma. Happiness or sorrow results from the deeds of the past birth only. Which rational man will give the Ganga water being taken to be offered to Shri Vitthala to a sinful donkey?
Ekanatha said
This donkey is Shri Panduranga Himself come here. No enquiry is necessary. I am going to give Him this Ganga water I have. You unfortunate ones can go now. What benefit does the pilgrimage bestow upon you who have no sympathy at all? As Lord Vishnu alone is present everywhere, there is no one on this earth fit to be ever called a sinner.
