Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
पाहतां तव एकला दिसे । कैसा असे व्यापक ॥1॥
ज्याचे त्याचे मिळणीं मिळे । तरी खेळे बहुरूपी ॥ध्रु.॥
जाणिवेचें नेदी अंग । दिसों रंग निवडीना ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे ये चि ठायीं । हें तों नाहीं सर्वत्र ॥3॥ ॥8॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
When one looks, He appears to be just one, solitary. Yet how is He all-pervading? He blends with each according to their nature, playing the part of many. He does not reveal Himself through intellectual knowledge; His colors cannot be separated out. Says Tuka, this truth is right here, yet it is not the same everywhere.
