The Universality of God's Grace
मराठी मूळ · गाथा 691
कोण त्याचा पार पावला धुंडितां । पुढें विचारितां विश्वंभरा ॥1॥
अणुरेणु सूIमस्थूळा पार नाहीं । श्रुती नेती त्या ही खुंटलिया ॥ध्रु.॥
फळांत कीटक येवढें आकाश । ऐसीं तरुवरास अनेक किती ॥2॥
दाविलें अनंतें अर्जुनासि पोटीं । आणीक त्या सृिष्ट कृष्णलोक ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे लागा संतांचिये कासे । ठाव घेतां कैसे वांचा जीवें ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation · I.P. 232
WHAT limit of his have we found by search, by considering further him who tills the world? Atoms and masses alike are divisible for ever; if the Srutis say he is not, they too are exhausted before they define him. To a grub within a fruit there is a sky proportioned to his size; but how many such fruits there are on a tree ! The infinite one showed Arjuna within his belly new creations and the world of Krishna. Tuka says, Oling to the robe of the saints; if you try to fathom him, how can you live long enough ? ’
Tr. J. Nelson Fraser & K.B. Marathe (1909)
