Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
खादलें च खावें वाटे । भेटलें भेटे आवडी ॥1॥
वीट नाहीं पांडुरंगीं । वाढे अंगीं आर्त तें ॥ध्रु.॥
इंिद्रयांची हांव पुरे। परि हें उरे चिंतन ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे पोट भरे । परि ते उरे भूक पुढें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
What has been eaten, one wants to eat again; what has been met, one longs to meet once more. There is no weariness of Panduranga; the yearning only grows in the body. The cravings of the senses eventually subside, but this contemplation endures. Says Tuka, the belly may be filled, yet the hunger remains ahead.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
Longing and Separation
Cries from the dark night of the soul: remonstrances, complaints, and desperate yearning.
