A devotee who has taken shelter of the dust from the lotus feet of the Lord can transcend the influence of the six material whips--namely hunger, thirst, lamentation, illusion, old age and death--and he can conquer the mind and five senses. However, this is not very wonderful for a pure devotee of the Lord because even a person beyond the jurisdiction of the four varnas--in other words, an untouchable--is immediately relieved of bondage to material existence if he utters the holy name of the Lord even once.
Srimad Bhagavatm - Canto 5 Chapter 1 Verse 35
