Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
गासी तरि एक विठ्ठल चि गाइप । नाहीं तरि ठायीं राहें उगा ॥1॥
अद्वैतीं तों नाहीं बोलाचें कारण । जाणीवेचा श्रम करिसी वांयां ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे किती करावी फजिती । लाज नाहीं नीतिं निलाजिरा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
If you wish to sing, sing only of Vitthala. Otherwise, remain silent where you stand. In non-duality there is no need for speech; the labor of learning serves no purpose. Says Tuka, how much more disgrace will you invite? The shameless one has no sense of decency.
