Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
पाषाण देव पाषाण पायरी । पूजा एकावरी पाय ठेवी ॥1॥
सार तो भाव सार तो भाव । अनुभवीं देव ते चि जाले॥ध्रु.॥
उदका भिन्न पालट काइऩ । गंगा गोड येरां चवी काय नाहीं ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे हें भाविकांचें वर्म । येरीं धर्माधर्म विचारावें॥3॥ ॥10॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The stone that is worshipped as God and the stone that serves as a step are both stone; one receives worship while the other bears the weight of feet. The essence is faith, the essence is faith; those who live by experience have themselves become God. Is water any different from water? The Ganga is holy, but does the other water not also have taste? Says Tuka, this is the secret of the faithful. Let others deliberate over dharma and adharma.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
Faith and Trust
The boldness of faith, steadfastness, and the security of trusting in God.
