Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
तुह्मां आह्मां जंव जालिया समान । तेथें कोणां कोण सनमानी ॥1॥
उरी तों राहिली गोमटें गौरव । ओढे माझा जीव पायांपाशीं ॥ध्रु.॥
नेणपणें आह्मी आळवूं वोरसें । बोलवितों रसें शब्दरत्नें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे लळे पाळीं वो विठ्ठले । कां हे उरविले भेदाभेद ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
When You and I become equal, who will honor whom? So long as some distance remains, there is grace and dignity; my jiva is drawn toward Your feet. In my innocence I call out to You with affection, stringing together words like jewels of feeling. Says Tuka, O Vitthale, indulge my childish ways. Why have You preserved these distinctions of difference?.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
