Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
लेकराची आळी न पुरवी कैसी । काय तयापाशीं उणें जालें ॥1॥
आह्मां लडिवाळां नाहीं तें प्रमाण । कांहीं ब्रह्मYाान आत्मिस्थति ॥ध्रु.॥
वचनाचा घेइऩन अनुभव पदरीं । जें हें जनाचारीं मिरवलें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे माझी भोिळवेची आटी । दावीन शेवटीं कौतुक हें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
How can a mother not fulfill a child's demands? What is lacking in her? For us, the dear and playful children, that is not the criterion: neither Brahman-knowledge nor abidance in the Self. I will take the proof of Your words as my own experience, for You have displayed it openly before the world. Says Tuka, this stubbornness of mine is born of simplicity. I will show this wonder at the very end.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
Faith and Trust
The boldness of faith, steadfastness, and the security of trusting in God.
