Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
विधीनें सेवन । विषयत्यागातें समान ॥१॥
मुख्य धर्म देव चित्तीं । आदि अवसान अंतीं ॥ध्रु.॥
बहु अतिशय खोटा । तर्कें होती बहु वाटा ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे भावें । कृपा करीजेते देवें ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Enjoying the senses according to righteous conduct is equal to renouncing them. The chief duty is to hold God in one's heart, from beginning to end. Too much cleverness is false, and logic only multiplies paths. Says Tuka, God bestows grace through simple devotion alone.
