Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
उदंड शाहाणे होत तर्कवंत । परि या नेणवे अंत विठोबाचा ॥1॥
उदंडा अक्षरां करोत भरोवरी । परि ते नेणवे थोरी विठोबाची ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे नाहीं भोळेपणाविण । जाणीव ते सिण रितें माप ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Countless wise and learned debaters have tried, yet none can fathom the mystery of Vithoba. Let them pile up endless words and fill volumes, yet they cannot know the greatness of Vithoba. Says Tuka, without guilelessness, all cleverness is merely tiresome labor, an empty measure.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
श्रद्धा
Faith and Trust
The boldness of faith, steadfastness, and the security of trusting in God.
