Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
न करीं रे मना कांहीं च कल्पना । चिंतीं या चरणां विठोबाच्या ॥1॥
येथें सुखाचिया रासी । पुढें ठाव नाहीं कल्पनेसी॥ध्रु.॥
सुखाचें ओतिलें साजिरें श्रीमुख । शोक मोह दुःख पाहाता नाहीं ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे येथें होइऩल विसांवा । तुटतील हांवा पुढिलिया ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Do not, O mind, entertain any idle fancy; contemplate only the feet of Vithoba. Here lie heaps of joy, and beyond this, there is no room for imagination. His blessed face is cast in the mold of pure bliss; sorrow, delusion, and suffering vanish at the sight of it. Says Tuka, here you shall find true rest, and all future cravings shall be cut away.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
