Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
अनुभवें कळों येतें पांडुरंगा । रुसावें तें कां गा तुह्मांवरी ॥1॥
आवरितां चित्त नावरे दुर्जन । घात करी मन माझें मज ॥ध्रु.॥
अंतरीं संसार भिH बाहएात्कार । ह्मणोनि अंतर तुझ्या पायीं ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे काय करूं नेणें वर्म । आलें तैसें कर्म सोसूं पुढें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Experience teaches me, O Panduranga, that I should not be angry with You. When I try to restrain my mind, it refuses to obey; my own mind plots against me. Inwardly I am tangled in worldly cares while outwardly I put on a show of devotion; that is why I remain distant from Your feet. Says Tuka, I do not know the secret remedy; I must simply endure whatever karma comes next.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
