Gatha Abhang 931 - Nirvair hone saadhanaache mool

Marathi Text
निर्वैर होणें साधनाचें मूळ । येर ते विल्हाळ सांडीमांडी ॥१॥
नाहीं चालों येत सोंगसंपादणी । निवडे अवसानीं शुद्धाशुद्ध ॥२॥
त्यागा नांव तरी निर्वीषयवासना । कार्या कारणां पुरता विधि ॥३॥
तुका म्हणे राहे चिंतनीं आवडी । येणें नांवें जोडी सत्यत्वेंसी ॥४॥
Roman Script
1. Nirvair hone saadhanaache mool, yer te vilhaal saandeemaandee
2. Naahee chaalo yet songasampaadanee, nivade avasaanee shuddhaashuddha
3. Tyaagaa naav taree nirveeshayavaasanaa, kaaryaa kaaranaa purataa vidhi
4. Tuka mhane raahe chintanee aavadee, yene naave jodee satyatvesee.

Translation
1. Being free of hatred towards all living beings is the root of all spiritual practice. Without this non-hatred, following rituals or rules is just for show.
2. Pretending or putting on a false show doesn’t last long. In the end, life reveals what was pure and what was impure.
3. True renunciation means becoming free from desires related to various worldly subjects, and performing rituals only as a necessary duty, not out of attachment.
4. Tuka says, one should develop a genuine liking for meditating on Lord Shrihari, because this alone will take you to the TRUTH. (Your realizing your oneness with the Universal Consciousness).
