Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
भूमि अवघी शुद्ध जाणा । अमंगळ हे वासना ॥1॥
तैसे वोसपले जीव । सांडी नसतां अंगीं घाव ॥ध्रु.॥
जीव अवघे देव । खोटा नागवी संदेह ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे शुद्ध । मग तुटलिया भेद ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Know that all earth is pure; it is desire that is impure. Likewise, beings cry out in anguish, carrying wounds that are not truly there. All jivas are God; it is false doubt that deceives and strips them bare. Says Tuka, once differences are dissolved, all becomes pure.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
