Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
येउनि संसारीं । मी तों एक जाणें हरी ॥1॥
नेणें आणिक कांहीं धंदा । नित्य ध्यातसें गोविंदा ॥ध्रु.॥
कामक्रोधलोभस्वार्थ। अवघा माझा पंढरिनाथ ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे एक । धणी विठ्ठल मी सेवक ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Having come into this world, I know only one thing: Hari. I know no other occupation; I ceaselessly meditate upon Govinda. Desire, anger, greed, and self-interest: all of these are, for me, none other than the Lord of Pandhari. Says Tuka, Vitthal is the master and I am the servant, and that is the whole of it.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
