Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
भूतीं भगवंत । हा तों जाणतों संकेत ॥1॥
भारी मोकलितों वाण । ज्याचा त्यासी कळे गुण ॥ध्रु.॥
करावा उपदेश। निवडोनि तरि दोष ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे वाटे । चुकतां आडरानें कांटे ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I know the principle that God dwells in all beings. I release my goods freely; let each one recognize the quality for himself. Instruction should be given after discerning the readiness of the student; otherwise it becomes harmful. Says Tuka, those who stray from the path will find only thorns on the byroads.
