मराठी मूळ
आश्चर्य या वाटे नसत्या छंदाचें । कैसें दिलें साचें करोनियां ॥1॥
दुजियासी तंव अकळ हा भाव । करावा तो जीव साक्ष येथें ॥ध्रु.॥
एकीं अनेकत्व अनेकीं एकत्व । प्रकृतिस्वभाव प्रमाणें चि ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे करूं उगवूं जाणसी । कुशळ येविशीं तुह्मी देवा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I am filled with wonder at this play and how You have made it so convincingly real. This devotion is unfathomable to another; here, the jiva itself stands as witness. In the One You show the many, and in the many You show the One, each according to its own nature. Says Tuka, You know how to create and how to resolve. In this, O God, You are supremely skillful.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
