Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
आह्मां भाविकांची जाती । एकविध जी श्रीपती । अळंकारयुिH । सरों शके चि ना ॥1॥
जाणें माउली त्या खुणा। क्षोभ उपजों नेदी मना । शांतवूनि स्तना ॥लावीं अवो कृपाळे॥ध्रु.॥
तुज अवघे होऊं येते । मज वाटों नये चित्ते । उपासने परतें। नये कांहीं आवडों ॥2॥
करूं रूपाची कल्पना । मुखीं नाम उच्चारणा। तुका ह्मणे जना । जल स्थल देखतां ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
We devotees are of a single nature, O Lord; eloquent speech and fine argument cannot serve us. You know our signals, O Mother; do not let agitation disturb the mind. Calm us and put us to Your breast, O compassionate one. You can become anything, but I should not be made to feel otherwise; nothing should appeal to me besides worship. Let me imagine Your form and speak Your Name with my lips. Says Tuka, wherever I look, on land or water, I see only You.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
