Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
लोक ह्मणती मज देव । हा तों अधर्म उपाव ॥1॥
आतां कळेल तें करीं । सीस तुझे हातीं सुरी ॥ध्रु.॥
अधिकार नाहीं। पूजा करिती तैसा कांहीं ॥2॥
मन जाणे पापा । तुका ह्मणे मायबापा॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
People call me a god; that is a sinful notion. Now do whatever You know to be right; the blade is in Your hand. I have no authority, yet people worship me as though I do. Says Tuka, O Mother and Father, the mind knows its own sins.
