Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
काय करावें म्यां केले ते विचार । घडेल साचार काय पाहों ॥1॥
काय मन नाहीं धरीत आवडी । प्रारब्धीं जोडी ते चि खरी ॥ध्रु.॥
काय म्यां तेथींचें रांधिलें चाखोनि । तें हें करीं मनीं विवंचना ॥2॥
आणीक ही त्यासी बहुत कारण । बहु असे जिणें ओढीचें ही ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे आह्मां बोळविल्यावरी । परती माघारी केली नाहीं ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
What plans I made, let me now see what truly comes to pass. Does the mind not hold its own desire? Only what destiny provides is certain. Have I cooked and tasted anything from that place? This is what I weigh in my mind. He too has many concerns, and much of life is a matter of strain. Says Tuka, since we were sent away, we have never been called back.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
Worldly Life
