Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
संसारसोहळे भोगितां सकळ । भHां त्याचें बळ विटोबाचें ॥1॥
भय चिंता धाक न मनिती मनीं । भHां चक्रपाणि सांभाळीत ॥ध्रु.॥
पापपुण्य त्यांचें धरूं न शके अंग । भHांसी श्रीरंग सर्वभावे ॥2॥
नव्हती ते मुH आवडे संसार । देव भHां भार सर्व वाहे ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे देव भHां वेळाइऩत । भH ते नििंश्चत त्याचियानें ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
While devotees enjoy all the celebrations of worldly life, their true strength comes from Vithoba. They harbor no fear, worry, or dread in their minds, for the discus-bearing Lord watches over them. Sin and merit cannot touch their being, for Shrirang is wholly theirs. Liberation is not their aim; they love this worldly life, for God carries all their burdens. Says Tuka, God waits upon His devotees, and by His power, the devotees dwell carefree.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
