Gatha Abhang 623 - Vital to pardravya paranaaree

Marathi Text

विटाळ तो परद्रव्य परनारी । येथुनि जो दुरी तो सोंवळा ॥१॥
गद्यें पद्यें कांहीं न धरावी उपाधी । स्वाधीन चि बुद्धी करुनी ठेवा ॥२॥
विचाराचें कांहीं करावें स्वहित । पापपुण्यातीत भांडवल ॥३॥
तुका म्हणे न लगे जावें वनांतरा । विश्वं विश्वंभरा सारिखेंचि ॥४॥
Roman Script
1. Vital to pardravya paranaaree, yethuni jo duree to sovala
2. Gadye padye kaahee na dharaavee upaadhee, swaadheen chi budhee karunee theva
3. Vichaaranche kaahee karaave swahit, paapapunyaateet bhaandaval
4. Tuka mhane na lage jaave vanaantara, Vishva vishvambhara saarikhechi.
Translation
1. Coveting someone else's wealth or woman, are really the untouchable, inauspicious activities (Tukaram Maharaj has compared them to the process of menstruation). The man who keeps away from them is really a true holy man.
2. One should not create any obstacles (in spirituals pursuit) by taking up writing or composing poetry (meaning trying to be a pundit). It's better to be in charge of our own intellect (and use it for spiritual growth).
3. One should think deeply about spirituality and earn the capital (wealth) of Self Realization, which transcends virtue and vice.
4. Tuka says, it is not necessary to go to jungles for getting this joy. This Universe and the God who created this Universe, are not different from each other. God is omnipresent everywhere.
