Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
गेला कोठें होता कोठुनियां आला । सहज व्यापला आहे नाहीं ॥1॥
आहे साच भावें सकळव्यापक । नाहीं अभाविक लोकां कोठें ॥2॥
कोठे नाहीं ऐसा नाहीं रिता ठाव । अनुभवी देव स्वयें जालें ॥3॥
जातों येतों आह्मी देवाचे सांगांतें । तुका ह्मणे गात देवनाम ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Where did He go? Where did He come from? He naturally pervades everything, present and absent at once. He is truly present for those who believe. For the faithless, He is nowhere to be found. There is no place empty of Him; those who have experienced Him have become God themselves. Says Tuka, we come and go in God's company, singing His Name.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
