Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
भयाची तों आह्मां चिंत्तीं । राहो खंती सकेना ॥1॥
समपिऩलों जीवें भावें । काशा भ्यावें कारणें ॥ध्रु.॥
करीन तें कवतुकें। अवघें निकें शोभेल ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे माप भरूं । दिस सारूं कवतुकें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
We once harbored fear and anxiety within us, but that distress cannot remain any longer. We have surrendered with body and jiva. What cause is there now for fear? Whatever I do, I shall do it as a joyful game; everything will turn out well. Says Tuka, I shall fill the measure and pass the days in playful delight.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
Ecstasy and Joy
Triumphant happiness: poems written from the far side of the struggle.
