Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
मूळ करणें संतां । नाहीं मिळत उचिता ॥1॥
घडे कासयानें सेवा । सांग ब्रह्मांडाच्या जीवा ॥ध्रु.॥
सागर सागरीं । सामावेसी कैंची थोरी ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे भावें । शरण ह्मणवितां बरवें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
How can one serve the saints at their very root? What is truly fitting is not easily found. Tell me, O Jiva of the universe, how is such service even to be done? The ocean merging into the ocean: where is the greatness in that? Says Tuka, it is beautiful to take refuge and call oneself surrendered.
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.
