 Gatha Abhang 932 - Pashu aise hotee dnyaanee

Marathi Text

पशु ऐसे होती ज्ञानी । चर्वणीं विषयांचे ॥१॥
ठेवूनियां लोभीं लोभ । जाला क्षोभ आत्मत्वीं ॥२॥
केला आणिकां वाढी पाक । खाणें ताक मूर्खासी ॥३॥
तुका म्हणे मोठा घात । वाताहात हा देह ॥४॥

 

Roman Script

1. Pashu aise hotee dnyaanee, charvanee vishayaanche

2. Thevooniyaa lobhee lobha, jaalaa kshobha aatmatvee

3. Kela aanikaa vaadhee paak, khaane taak moorkhaasee

4. Tuka mhane mothaa ghat, vaataahaat haa deh.

 

Translation

1. Even enlightened people can start behaving like animals if they keep indulging repeatedly in sense pleasures.

2. When someone becomes attached to sensual pleasures, their awareness of the true Self diminishes, and they experience inner turmoil.

3. A foolish person may cook delicious food and serve it to others, but will only drink buttermilk to satisfy his own hunger.

4. Tuka says, so-called wise people who act like this cause great harm. In the end, they fall into lust, anger, illness, disgrace, and hell, leading to their destruction.
