Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
दो दिवसांचा पाहुणा चालतो उताणा । कां रे नारायणा न भजसी ॥1॥
तूं अखंड दुिश्चत्ता तुज नेती अवचिता । मग पंढरीनाथा भजसी केव्हां ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे ऐसे आहेत उदंड । तया केशव प्रचंड केवीं भेटे ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
You are a guest of but two days, lying about carelessly. Why do you not worship Narayana? Your mind is forever restless, and death may seize you at any moment. When then will you worship the Lord of Pandhari? Says Tuka, there are plenty of such people, but how will the mighty Keshava ever meet them?.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
