Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
नाहीं रूप नाहीं नांव । नाहीं ठाव धराया ॥1॥
जेथें जावें तेथें आहे । विठ्ठल मायबहीण ॥ध्रु.॥
नाहीं आकार विकार । चराचर भरलेंसे ॥2॥
नव्हे निर्गुण सगुण । जाणे कोण तयासी॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे भावाविण । त्याचें मन वोळेना ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
He has no form, no name, no place that can hold Him. Yet wherever you go, Vitthal is there, like a mother and sister. He has no shape, no modification; He fills all that moves and does not move. He is neither formless nor with form; who can truly know Him? Says Tuka, without sincere devotion, His heart will not turn toward you.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
