Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
कोठें देवा आलें अंगा थोरपण । बरें होतें दीन होतों तरीं ॥1॥
साधन ते सेवा संतांची उत्तम । आवडीनें नाम गाइऩन तें ॥ध्रु.॥
न पुसतें कोणी कोठें ही असतां । समाधान चित्ताचिया सुखें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे जन अव्हेरितें मज । तरी केशीराज सांभािळता ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Where has this greatness come upon me, O God? It would have been better had I remained lowly. The best practice is the service of saints. With love I shall sing the Name. Even if no one asks after me, wherever I may be, I have the contentment of chitta's own ease. Says Tuka, even if the world rejects me, Keshiraja is my protector.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
