Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
रिकामें तूं नको मना । राहों क्षणक्षणा ही ॥1॥
वेळोवेळां पारायण । नारायण हें करीं ॥ध्रु.॥
भ्रमणांच्या मोडीं वाटा। न भरें फाटा आडरानें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे माझ्या जीवें । हें चि घ्यावें धणीवरी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
O mind, do not remain idle even for a single moment. Again and again, recite the name of Narayana. Break off the paths of wandering; do not stray into the wild thickets. Says Tuka, my jiva desires nothing else; take this Name until you are fully satisfied.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
नाम महिमा
The Power of the Name
The supremacy of nama-smarana: God's name as the highest practice.
