Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
॥
मराठी मूळ
फटकाळ देव्हारा फटकाळ अंगारा । फटकाळ विचारा चालविलें ॥1॥
फटकाळ तो देव फटकाळ तो भH । करवितो घात आणिका जीवा ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे अवघें फटकाळ हें जन । अनुभविये खूण जाणतील ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
A sham shrine and sham sacred ash, a sham philosophy carried forward. A sham god and a sham devotee bring ruin upon other lives. Says Tuka, all this world is full of sham; only those with true experience will recognize the mark.
