Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
इंिद्रयाचें पुरे कोड । तें चि गोड पुढती ही ॥1॥
जावें म्हणती पंढरपुरा । हा चि बरा संसार ॥ध्रु.॥
बैसलें तें मनामुळीं । सुख डोळीं देखिलें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे देती कान । वाणावाण निवडूनी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The cravings of the senses are satisfied, yet the same pleasures seem sweet again. People say they will go to Pandharpur, but they find this worldly life more agreeable. What has settled at the root of the mind is what the eyes see as happiness. Says Tuka, they lend their ears selectively, sorting between what they want and what they do not.
