Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram

मराठी मूळ

नििश्चतीनें होतों करुनियां सेवा । कां जी मन देवा उद्वेगिलें ॥1॥

अनंत उठती चित्ताचे तरंग । करावा हा त्याग वाटतसे ॥ध्रु.॥

कोण तुह्मांविण मनाचा चाळक । दुजें सांगा एक नारायणा ॥2॥

तुका ह्मणे माझा मांडिला विनोद । करऊं नेणें छंद कराल काइ ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

I was performing my service in quiet contentment. Why then, O God, have You agitated my mind? Countless waves rise in the chitta, and it seems as though everything should be renounced. Who but You is the governor of the mind, O Narayana? Tell me if there is another. Says Tuka, this is my plea made in playful earnestness. I do not know how to play games. Will You play them on my behalf?.

We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
