Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
नसता चि दाउनि भेव । केला जीव हिंपुटी ॥1॥
जालों तेव्हां कळलें जना । वाउगा हा आकांत ॥ध्रु.॥
गंवसिलों पुढें मागें लागलागे पावला ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे केली आणि । सलगीच्यांनी सन्मुख ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
By showing a fear that did not exist, my life was made wretched. When the truth was revealed, people saw the alarm had been for nothing. I was caught between ahead and behind, chased until the pursuer was reached. Says Tuka, those who were close and familiar brought me face to face with the Lord.
