Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
लटिका ऐसा ह्मणतां देव । संदेहसा वाटतसे ॥1॥
ऐसें आलें अनुभवा । मज ही सेवा करिता ॥ध्रु.॥
शून्याकारी बहु मोळा । भेंडोळा हे पवाडे ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे ताळी नाहीं । एके ठायीं चपळत्वें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
When one calls God false like this, it feels like something resembling doubt. Such has come to experience, even to me, while doing seva. In the form of the void, very loose: these praises are a bundled skein. Says Tuka, there is no taal. In one place, with quickness.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
विरह
Longing and Separation
Cries from the dark night of the soul: remonstrances, complaints, and desperate yearning.
