Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
भHां समागमें सर्वभावें हरि । सर्व काम करी न संगतां ॥1॥
सांटवला राहे हृदयसंपुष्टीं । बाहेर धाकुटी मूतिऩ उभा॥ध्रु.॥
मागण्याची वास पाहे मुखाकडे । चिंतिल्या रोकडे मनोरथ ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे जीव भाव देवापायीं । ठेवूनि ते कांहीं न मगती ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
With His devotees, Hari does everything wholeheartedly, attending to all needs without being asked. He is stored away within their hearts, yet He stands outside in a small form upon the brick. He watches their faces, waiting for them to ask; their wishes are fulfilled the moment they are thought. Says Tuka, those who have placed their lives and love at God's feet ask for nothing at all.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
