Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
मुळीं नेणपण । जाला तरी अभिमान ॥1॥
वांयां जावें हें चि खरें । केलें तेणें चि प्रकारें ॥ध्रु.॥
अराणूक नाहीं कधीं। जाली तरि भेदबुिद्ध ॥2॥
अंतरली नाव । तुका ह्मणे नाहीं ठाव॥3॥ ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
From the very root, there is ignorance; then pride grows from it. To go to waste in this way is the certain outcome. There has never been any rest; once the sense of separateness takes hold, division follows. Says Tuka, the boat has sunk, and now there is no ground to stand on.
