Tukaram Gatha Abhanga 21

विष्णुमय जग वैष्णवांचा धर्म । भेदाभेदभ्रम अमंगळ ॥१॥

आइका जी तुम्ही भक्त भागवत । कराल तें हित सत्य करा ॥२॥

कोणा ही जिवाचा न घडो मत्सर । वर्म सर्वेश्वरपूजनाचे ॥३॥

तुका म्हणे एका देहाचे अवयव । सुख दुःख जीव भोग पावे ॥४॥ 

English

1. Vishnumay jag vaishnavancha dharma, bhedabhed bhrama amangal

2. Aaika ji tumhi bhakt bhagawat, karal te heet satya kara

3. Kona hi jeevacha na ghado matsar, varma Sarveshwar poojanache

4. Tuka mhane ekaa dehaache avayav, sukha dukkha jeeva bhog pave.

Translation

In this abhanga Saint Tukaram is explaining the nature of this Universe, how are we all related to each other and what is true worship.

1. The whole world is itself one with the Lord Vishnu (Lord Vishnu is present everywhere in this world). The illusory feeling of differentiating between the different people is inauspicious or abominable. 
2. Oh, the devotee's of God, whatever you do, do it for real good to others and with a true good feeling for others.
3. The true meaning of worshipping the God is that one should not allow a feeling of jealousy about any living being. 
4. Tuka says, the various forms of living being are in fact various body parts of the one body of the Superconsciousness. The individual jeeva (living being) happens to receive material pleasure and suffers in sorrows. (But that is a part of life and should be accepted as it comes).
