Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
उदंड शाहाणे होत तर्कवंत । परि या नेणवे अंत विठोबाचा ॥1॥
उदंडा अक्षरां करोत भरोवरी । परि ते नेणवे थोरी विठोबाची ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे नाहीं भोळेपणाविण । जाणीव ते सिण रितें माप ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Countless wise and learned debaters have tried, yet none can fathom the mystery of Vithoba. Let them perform endless feats of scholarship, yet they cannot know the greatness of Vithoba. Says Tuka, without simple, childlike faith, all cleverness is merely tiresome labor, an empty measuring cup.

Faith and Trust
The boldness of faith, steadfastness, and the security of trusting in God.
