Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
क्षरला सागर गंगा ओघीं मिळे । आपण चि खेळे आपणाशीं ॥1 ॥
मधील ते वाव अवघी उपाधि । तुह्मां आह्मांमधीं ते चि परी ॥ध्रु.॥
घट मठ जाले आकाशाचे पोटीं । वचनें चि तुटी तेथें चि तें ॥2 ॥
तुका ह्मणे बीजें बीज दाखविलें । फल पुष्प आलें गेलें वांयां ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The ocean churns within itself as the Ganga merges into it; it plays with itself alone. All the space between is mere illusion; between You and us it is the very same. Pots and chambers arise within the belly of the sky, and by words alone the separation is created and dissolved. Says Tuka, the seed has revealed the seed; flower and fruit have come and gone in vain.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
