Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
मानावया जग व्हावी द्रव्यमाया । नाहीं ते माझिया जीवा चाड ॥1॥
तुझ्या पायांसाठीं केली आराणूक । आतां कांहीं एक नको दुजें ॥ध्रु.॥
करूनियां कृपा करीं अंगीकार । न लवीं उसीर आतां देवा ॥2॥
नव्हे साच कांहीं कळों आलें मना । ह्मणोनि वासना आवरिली ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे आतां मनोरथ सिद्धी। माझे कृपानिधी पाववावे ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
To be honored by the world, one needs wealth and worldly illusion. My jiva has no taste for these. I have made all my preparations for Your feet alone. Now I want nothing else. Accept me graciously, O God; do not delay any further. I have come to see that nothing in this world is real, and so I have reined in all desire. Says Tuka, now bring my mind's longings to fulfillment, O Treasury of mercy.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
Surrender and Acceptance
The conditions of spiritual receptivity and the letting go of the separate self.
