गाथा 3980The Nature of God

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram

मराठी मूळ

 तुज मज ऐसी परी । जैसे तरंग सागरीं ॥1॥

 दोहींमाजी एक जाणा । विठ्ठल पंढरीचा राणा ॥ध्रु.॥

 देव भH ऐसी बोली । जंव भ्रांति नाहीं गेली ॥2॥

 तंतु पट जेवीं एक । तैसा विश्वेंसीं व्यापक ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

You and I are like waves upon the ocean. Know that within both there is only one: Vitthal, the King of Pandhari. The talk of God and devotee being separate lasts only as long as delusion remains. As thread and cloth are one, so is He pervading the entire universe.

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