Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
पंडित तो चि एक भला । नित्य भजे जो विठ्ठला ॥1॥
अवघें सम ब्रह्म पाहे । सर्वां भूतीं विठ्ठल आहे ॥ध्रु.॥
रिता नाहीं कोणी ठाव । सर्वां भूतीं वासुदेव ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे तो चि दास। त्यां देखिल्या जाती दोष ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The only pandit truly worthy of praise is the one who worships Vitthal daily. He sees all as equal Brahman, recognizing Vitthal present in every creature. No place is empty of the divine; Vasudeva dwells in all beings. Says Tuka, that one alone is a true servant of God; in whose sight all sins are dissolved.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
