Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
आहे तें चि आह्मी मागों तुजपाशीं । नव्हों तुज ऐसीं क्रियानष्टें ॥1॥
न बोलावीं तों च वर्में बरें दिसे । प्रकट ते कैसे गुण करूं ॥ध्रु.॥
एका ऐसें एका द्यावयाचा मोळा । कां तुह्मां गोपाळा नाहीं ऐसा ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे लोकां नाहीं कळों आलें । करावें आपुलें जतन तों ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I ask of You only what already is. We are not among those whose practice has come to ruin. Before one speaks, the inner truth is visible. How can I make such qualities openly manifest? One passes the bundle to another; do even You, O Gopala, not have such a one? Says Tuka, people have not come to understand this. Guard what is your own, while it may still be guarded.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
Prayers
Direct appeals to God: for protection, guidance, strength, and mercy.
