Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
बोलावे ह्मुण हे बोलतों उपाय । प्रवाहें हें जाय गंगाजळ ॥1॥
भाग्ययोगें कोणां घडेल सेवन । कैंचे येथें जन अधिकारी ॥ध्रु.॥
मुखीं देतां घांस पळवितीं तोंडें । अंगींचिया भांडे असुकानें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे पूजा करितों देवाची । आपुलिया रुची मनाचिये ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I speak these remedies because they must be spoken; these waters flow onward like the Ganga. By good fortune, some may partake of them; who here in this world is truly qualified? When food is placed in their mouths, they turn their faces away, burning with their own willfulness. Says Tuka, I worship God according to the taste of my own mind.
