Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
काय हएाचें घ्यावें । नित्य नित्य कोणें गावें ॥1॥
केलें हरिकथेनें वाज । अंतरोनी जाते निज ॥ध्रु.॥
काम संसार । अंतरीं हे करकर ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे हेंड । ऐसे मानिती ते लंड ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
What can be gained from such people? Who should sing daily for them? They have made Hari's kirtan a mere profession, while their true nature remains hidden behind it. Worldly desire and household life churn noisily within them. Says Tuka, those who honor such hypocrisy are fools.
