Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
नका मजपाशीं । वदो प्रपंचाचे विशीं ॥1॥
आतां नाइकावी कानीं । मज देवाविण वाणी ॥ध्रु.॥
येऊनियां रूपा । कोण पाहे पुण्यपापा ॥2॥
मागे आजिवरी । जालें माप नेलें चोरी॥3॥
सांडियेलीं पानें । पुढें पिका अवलोकन ॥4॥
पडों नेदी तुका । आड गुंपूं कांहीं चुका ॥5॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Do not speak to me of worldly matters. My ears will hear no voice now except that of God. When one comes to know the true form, who looks at merit and sin? All that went before has been stolen away, its measure lost. The leaves have fallen; now look ahead to the ripening fruit. Says Tuka, do not let any mistake come between us and block the way.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
Renunciation
The case for letting go of worldly attachments and turning wholly to God.
