Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
अंतराय पडे गोविंदीं अंतर । जो जो घ्यावा भार तो चि बाधी ॥1॥
बैसलिये ठायीं आठवीन पाय । पाहीन तो ठाय तुझा देवा ॥ध्रु.॥
अखंड तें खंडे संकल्पीं विकल्प । मनोजन्य पाप रज्जुसर्प ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे विश्वीं विश्वंभर वसे । राहों ऐसे दशे सुखरूप ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Obstacles create distance from Govinda. Every burden one takes up only hinders further. Wherever I sit, I will remember Your feet and seek that place where You dwell, O God. The continuous flow is broken by doubts and conflicting thoughts; like the snake seen in a rope, all such trouble is mind-born. Says Tuka, the Lord pervades the entire universe. Let me remain in that blissful state.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
