Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
वचनाचा अनुभव हातीं । बोलविती देव मज ॥1॥
परि हें न कळे अभाविकां । जडलोकां जिवांसी ॥ध्रु.॥
अश्रुत हे प्रसादिक । कृपा भीक स्वामीची ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे वरावरी । जातों तरी सांगत ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The truth of these words is in my hands; it is God who makes me speak. But this cannot be understood by the faithless, by those souls sunk in dull matter. These are unheard-of gifts of grace, alms of mercy from the Master. Says Tuka, I keep telling you as I go along, ascending ever higher.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
