Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
जग अवघें देव । मुख्य उपदेशाची ठेव ॥1॥
आधीं आपणयां नासी । तरि उतरे ये कसीं ॥ध्रु.॥
ब्रह्मYाानाचें कोठार । तें हें निश्चयें उत्तर ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे ते उन्मनी । नास कारया कारणीं ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The whole world is God: this is the essence of the highest teaching. First annihilate the self, and it will prove true on the touchstone. This is the storehouse of Brahman-knowledge; this is the final, certain answer. Says Tuka, the unmani state brings the destruction of cause and effect.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
ईश्वर स्वरूप

Explorations of God's character, power, grace, and relationship to the world.
