Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
कां जी धरिलें नाम । तुह्मी असोनि निष्काम ॥1॥
कोणां सांगतसां Yाान । ठकाठकीचें लक्षण ॥ध्रु.॥
आवडीनें नाचें। आहे तरी पुढें साचें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे प्रेम । नाहीं भंगायाचें काम ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
O God, why do You bear a Name when You are already desireless? Whom are You teaching this knowledge to? It all seems like a divine game. If there is something real beyond all this, let it reveal itself before us in love. Says Tuka, the bond of love cannot be broken.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
