Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
देव मजुर देव मजुर । नाहीं उजुर सेवेपुढें ॥1॥
देव गांढएाळ देव गांढएाळ । देखोनियां बळ लपतसे ॥2॥
देव तर काइऩ देव तर काइऩ । तुका ह्मणे राइऩ तरी मोटी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
God is a laborer, a laborer indeed; He makes no excuses when it comes to service. God is timid; seeing the strong, He hides Himself away. Says Tuka, God may be what He is, but the queen of devotion is truly great.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
