Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
भूतबाधा आह्मां घरीं । हें तों आश्चर्य गा हरी ॥1॥
जाला भक्तीचा कळस । आले वस्तीस दोष ॥ध्रु.॥
जागरणाचें फळ । दिली जोडोनि तळमळ ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे देवा । आहाच कळों आली सेवा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
That evil spirits should haunt our home is truly astonishing, O Hari. Devotion has reached its pinnacle, yet faults have come to dwell with us. The fruit of our vigil has been nothing but anguish and torment. Says Tuka, O God, such is the service we have come to know.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
विरह
Longing and Separation
Cries from the dark night of the soul: remonstrances, complaints, and desperate yearning.
