Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
काय मज एवढा भार । हे वेव्हार चाळवाया ॥1॥
उकल तो जाणे धणी । मज भोजनीं कारण ॥ध्रु.॥
चिंता ज्याची तया शिरीं । लेंकरीं तें खेळावें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे सेवट झाल । देव या बोला भोगिता ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Am I burdened with the weight of managing all this worldly business? The master knows how to sort it out; my only concern is to eat the meal He provides. Let the one whose worry it is carry it upon his head; the child should simply play. Says Tuka, when the final reckoning comes, God Himself will take responsibility for these words.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
Surrender and Acceptance
The conditions of spiritual receptivity and the letting go of the separate self.
