Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
नव्हती माझे बोल । अवघें करितो विठ्ठल ॥1॥
कांहीं न धरावी खंती । हित होइल धरा चित्तीं ॥ध्रु.॥
खोटी ते अहंता । वाट टाकिली सांगतां ॥2॥
ज्याचें तो चि जाणें । मी मापाडें तुका ह्मणे ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
These are not my own words. Vitthal does everything. Hold no sorrow; keep this in your chitta: your good will come. False is that ego-pride. In the very telling, the path to abandon it has been shown. Says Tuka, He alone knows what is His. I am merely His measure-holder.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
