Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
कां रे दाटोन होतां वेडे । देव आहे तुह्मांपुढें ॥1॥
ज्यास पाठ नाहीं पोट । करी त्रैलोक्याचा घोंट ॥ध्रु.॥
तुमची तुह्मां नाहीं सोय । कोणाचें काय जाय ॥2॥
तुका गातो नामीं । तेथें नाहीं आह्मी तुह्मी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Why do you crowd about in confusion? God is standing right before you. He who has no back or front can swallow all three worlds in a gulp. You cannot find your own way; what does anyone else lose by that? Says Tuka, I sing the Name. There, there is no 'you' or 'I.'.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
