Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
शHी द्याव्या देवा । नाहीं पदार्थी सेवा ॥1॥
मुख्य आहे ऐसा धर्म । जाणते हो जाणा वर्म ॥ध्रु.॥
मना पोटीं देव । जाणे जैसा तैसा भाव ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे सोसें । लागे लाविल्याचें पिसें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Offer your full strength to God; true service lies not in material offerings alone. This is the highest law of dharma; those who are wise should know this secret. God sees into the chitta and knows your devotion as it truly is. Says Tuka, whatever longing you have planted, that very passion will take hold of you.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
