Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
न लगे हें मज तुझें ब्रम्हज्ञान । गोजिरें सगुण रूप पुरे ॥१॥
लागला उशीर पतितपावना । विसरोनि वचना गेलासि या ॥ध्रु.॥
जाळोनि संसार बैसलों अंगणीं । तुझे नाहीं मनीं मानसीं तें ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे नको रागेजों विठ्ठला । उठीं देई मला भेटी आतां ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I have no need of your knowledge of Brahman; your beautiful form with all its sweetness is enough for me. You are taking too long, O Redeemer of the fallen; have you forgotten your promise? I have burned my worldly life and sit waiting in your courtyard, yet you show no concern in your heart. Says Tuka, do not be angry, O Vitthala; rise and give me your embrace now.
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.
