Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
तपासी तें मन करूं पाहे घात । धरोनि सांगात इंिद्रयांचा ॥1॥
ह्मणोनि कीर्तन आवडलें मज । सांडोनियां लाज हें चि करी ॥ध्रु.॥
पाहातां आगमनिगमाचे ठाव । तेथें नाहीं भाव एकविध ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे येथें नाहीं वो विकार । नाम एक सार विठोबाचें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The mind conspires with the senses to destroy one's austerities. Therefore kirtan has won my heart; casting aside all shame, this alone I do. Even in the depths of scripture, one does not find single-pointed devotion. Says Tuka, here there is no trace of impurity; the Name of Vithoba is the one true essence.

The Power of the Name
The supremacy of nama-smarana: God's name as the highest practice.
