Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
जग अमंगळ । लागे देखतां विटाळ ॥1॥
धर्म भूतांची ते दया । सत्य कारण ऐसीया ॥ध्रु.॥
नव्हे माझें मत । साक्षी करूनि सांगें संत ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे जीवें । दावी उमटूनि अनुभवें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The world without God is impure; merely looking at it brings contamination. True religion is compassion for all beings; this alone is the real principle. This is not just my opinion; I call the saints themselves as witnesses. Says Tuka, one must show this truth through one's own lived experience, stamped visibly upon one's life.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
The Moral Ideal
