अभंग आणि गीता

A verse from Sant Tukaram's Varkari tradition meets a verse from the Bhagavad Gita — the path walked each year to Pandharpur, and the path Srila Prabhupada carried around the world, meeting at one threshold.

Sant Tukaram · Abhanga

जे का रंजले गांजले । त्यासी म्हणे जो आपुले ॥ तोचि साधु ओळखावा । देव तेथेचि जाणावा ॥

Je ka ranjale ganjale, tyasi mhane jo aapule — tochi sadhu olakhava, dev tethechi janava.

Whoever calls the suffering and the afflicted their own — know that person to be a true saint; know that God dwells right there.

Bhagavad Gita

समोऽहं सर्वभूतेषु न मे द्वेष्योऽस्ति न प्रियः । ये भजन्ति तु मां भक्त्या मयि ते तेषु चाप्यहम् ॥

I am equal to all beings; none is hateful to Me, nor dear. But those who worship Me with devotion dwell in Me, and I in them.

Bhagavad Gita 9.29
