Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
भोवंडींसरिसें । अवघें भोंवत चि दिसे ॥1॥
ठायीं राहिल्या निश्चळ । आहे अचळीं अचळ ॥ध्रु.॥
एक हाकेचा कपाटीं। तेथें आणीक नाद उठी ॥2॥
अभ्रें धांवे शशी । तुका असे ते तें दुसरें भासी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
When one is spinning, everything seems to whirl. But when one stands still, the immovable is seen as immovable. From one clap in the canyon, many echoes arise. The clouds run, and the moon seems to move. Says Tuka, what exists is one thing, but what appears is something else.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
