Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
विठ्ठल सोयरा सज्जन सांगाती । विठ्ठल या चित्तीं बैसलासे ॥1॥
विठ्ठलें हें अंग व्यापिली ते काया । विठ्ठल हे छाया माझी मज ॥ध्रु.॥
बैसला विठ्ठल जिव्हेचिया माथां । न वदे अन्यथा आन दुजें ॥2॥
सकळां इंिद्रयां मन एक प्रधान । तें ही करी ध्यान विठोबाचें ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे या विठ्ठलासी आतां । नये विसंबतां माझें मज ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Vitthal is my kinsman, my companion, my friend. Vitthal has seated Himself within my chitta. Vitthal has pervaded my body and my being. Vitthal is my own shadow following me. Vitthal has settled on my tongue; it will not utter anything other than His Name. Of all the senses, the mind is the chief, and even it meditates upon Vithoba alone. Says Tuka, now I cannot be separated from this Vitthal even for a moment.
