Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
आणीक कांहीं या उत्तराचें काज । नाहीं आतां मज बोलावया ॥1॥
भिन्न भेद हे भावनास्वभाव । नव्हे कांहीं देव एकविध ॥ध्रु.॥
गुण दोष कोणें निवडावे धर्म । कोण जाणे कर्म अकर्म तें ॥2॥
तरिच भलें आतां न करावा संग । दुःखाचा प्रसंग तोडावया ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे गुण गाइप या देवाचे । घेइप माझे वाचे हे चि धणी ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I have no more need to argue or reply. These distinctions and differences are matters of temperament and disposition. God is not of any one single kind. Who can sort out virtue and fault between the traditions, or tell the difference between action and inaction? It is better, then, to abandon such company so as to cut off the occasions of sorrow. Says Tuka, let my voice take its fill singing the virtues of this God.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
Surrender and Acceptance
The conditions of spiritual receptivity and the letting go of the separate self.
