Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
फळकट तो संसार । येथें सार भगवंत ॥1॥
ऐसें जागवितों मना । सरसें जनासहित ॥ध्रु.॥
अवघें निरसूनि काम । घ्यावें नाम विठोबाचें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे देवाविण । केला सीण तो मिथ्या ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
This worldly life is barren; the essence here is the Lord alone. This is what I tell my mind and the people alongside. Set aside all other concerns and take the name of Vithoba. Says Tuka, any effort made without God is utterly in vain.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
