गाथा 3341Devotion to Vitthal

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram

मराठी मूळ

आह्मांपाशीं सरे एक शुद्ध भाव । चतुराइऩ जाणींव न लगे कळा ॥1॥

सर्वजाण माझा स्वामी पांडुरंग । तया अंगसंगें गोपाळासी ॥2॥

तुका ह्मणे कर्मधर्में नये हातां । तयावरि सत्ता भाविकांची ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

What works for us is pure, simple devotion. Cleverness, worldly knowledge, and subtle arts are not required. My all-knowing master is Panduranga; it is through intimacy with Him that the cowherd boys were blessed. Says Tuka, God cannot be won by rituals or duties alone; sincere devotees hold true sovereignty over Him.

We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
