Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
मागायाची नाहीं इच्छा । जो मी ऐसा संकोचों ॥1॥
लटिकियाची न करूं स्तुति । इच्छा चित्तीं धरूनि ॥ध्रु.॥
हिशोबें तें आलें घ्यावें । हें तों ठावें सकळांसी ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे स्वामिसेवा । येथें देवा काशाची ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I have no desire to beg. I hold myself back in this way. I will not offer false praise while holding desire in my chitta. What comes by honest reckoning, that one should accept. Everyone knows this much. Says Tuka, this is the Lord's own service. What room is there for reward here, O God?
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
