Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
गोविंद गोविंद । मना लागलिया छंद ॥1॥
मग गोविंद ते काया । भेद नाहीं देवा तया ॥ध्रु.॥
आनंदलें मन । प्रेमें पाझरती लोचन ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे आळी । जेवी नुरे चि वेगळी॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
When the mind has caught the rhythm of 'Govinda, Govinda,' then the body itself becomes Govinda; there is no difference between God and that person. The mind is enraptured, and tears of love flow from the eyes. Says Tuka, no trace of separation remains, as if it were a meal so satisfying that no hunger lingers.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
