The Power of God's Name

मराठी मूळ · गाथा 133

बाळ बापा म्हणे काका । तरी तो कां निपराध ॥१॥

जैसा तैसा भाव गोड । पुरवी कोड विठ्ठल ॥ध्रु.॥

साकरेसि म्हणतां धोंडा । तरी कां तोंडा न रुचे ॥२॥

तुका म्हणे आरुष बोल । नव्हे फोल आहाच ॥३॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation · I.P. 281

IF a child calls his father uncle, why should he be rebuked? If our faith be pure, however imperfect it be, Vitthala fulfils our longings. If you call sugar stone, does it not still taste sweet? Tuka says, The words may be irregular, but no word will be fruitless. GOD’S GENEROSITY AND CONDESCENSION IX.; GwT$ Generosity and Condescension

Tr. J. Nelson Fraser & K.B. Marathe (1909)
