Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
धन्य भावशीळ । ज्याचें हृदय निर्मळ ॥1॥
पूजी प्रतिमेचे देव । संत ह्मणती तेथें भाव ॥ध्रु.॥
विधिनिषेध नेणती । एक निष्ठा धरुनी चित्तीं ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे तैसें देवा । होणें लागे त्यांच्या भावा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Blessed is the simple devotee whose heart is pure and clean. He worships the deity in the image; the saints say true feeling resides there. He knows nothing of scriptural prescriptions and prohibitions but holds one single-pointed faith in his heart. Says Tuka, God must become whatever such devotees believe Him to be.
