Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
एकांतीं लोकांतीं करूं गदारोळ । लेश तो ही मळ नाहीं येथें ॥1॥
घ्यावें द्यावें आह्मीं आपुलिया सत्ता । न देखों पुसता दुजा कोणी ॥ध्रु.॥
भांडाराची किली माझे हातीं आहे । पाहिजे तो पाहें वान येथें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे आह्मां विश्वासाच्या बळें। ठेविलें मोकळें देवें येथें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
In solitude or in the crowd, I shall raise a joyful commotion. There is not the least trace of impurity here. I give and take by my own authority; I do not see anyone else to consult. The key to the storehouse is in my hands; whoever wishes may come and see the wares. Says Tuka, by the strength of faith, God has left everything open and free for us.
