Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
प्रमाण हें त्याच्या बोला । देव भHांचा अंकिला॥1॥
न पुसतां जातां नये । खालीं बैसतां ही भिये ॥ध्रु.॥
अवघा त्याचा होत । जीव भावाही सहित ॥2॥
वदे उपचाराची वाणी । कांहीं माग ह्मणऊनि ॥3॥
उदासीनाच्या लागें । तुका ह्मणे धांवे मागें॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
This is the proof, from the mouths of devotees: God is bound to His devotees. Without being asked, He cannot leave; even sitting down, He is anxious. He gives Himself entirely, along with His very life and love. He speaks courteous words, asking: please, tell Me what you desire. Says Tuka, He runs after those who are truly indifferent to the world.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
