गाथा 1682The Moral Ideal

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram

मराठी मूळ

आह्मी न देखों अवगुणां । पापी पवित्र शाहाणा ॥1॥

अवघीं रूपें तुझीं देवा । वंदूं भावें करूं सेवा ॥ध्रु.॥

मज मुHी सवें चाड । नेणें पाषाण धातु वाड ॥2॥

तुका ह्मणे घोटीं। विष अमृत तुजसाटीं ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

I do not see faults in anyone, whether wrongdoer, saint, or scholar. All forms are yours, O God, and I bow to them with devotion and serve them all. I care nothing for liberation; I do not distinguish stone from metal or rank. Says Tuka, I will swallow poison and nectar alike for your sake.

We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
