Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
ऐसें सत्य माझें येइऩल अंतरा । तरि मज करा कृपा देवा ॥1॥
वचनांसारिखें तळमळी चित्त । बाहेरि तो आंत होइल भाव ॥ध्रु.॥
तरि मज ठाव द्यावा पायांपाशीं । सत्यत्वें जाणसी दास खरा ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे सत्य निकट सेवकें । तरि च भातुकें प्रेम द्यावें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
If my sincerity is truly known to your chitta, then grant me your grace, O God. Let my inner feeling match my spoken words, so that what is outside is also what is within. Then give me a place beside your feet, for you know in truth whether I am a genuine servant. Says Tuka, if I am proven a faithful and intimate devotee, then bestow upon me the gift of your love.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
