Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
धन्य भावशीळ । ज्याचें हृदय निर्मळ ॥1॥
पूजी प्रतिमेचे देव । संत ह्मणती तेथें भाव ॥ध्रु.॥
विधिनिषेध नेणती । एक निष्ठा धरुनी चित्तीं ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे तैसें देवा । होणें लागे त्यांच्या भावा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Blessed is the simple devotee whose heart is pure and clean. He worships the deity in the image; the saints say true feeling resides there. He knows nothing of scriptural prescriptions and prohibitions but holds one single-pointed faith in his heart. Says Tuka, God must become whatever such devotees believe Him to be.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
Faith and Trust
The boldness of faith, steadfastness, and the security of trusting in God.
