God's Power
मराठी मूळ · गाथा 360
ध्यानी योगीराज बैसले कपाटीं । लागे पाठोवाटीं तयांचिया ॥१॥
तान भुक त्यांचें राखे शीत उष्ण । जाले उदासीन देहभाव ॥ध्रु.॥
कोण सखें तयां आणीक सोयरें । असे त्यां दुसरें हरीविण ॥२॥
कोण सुख त्यांच्या जीवासि आनंद । नाहीं राज्यमद घडी तयां ॥३॥
तुका म्हणे विष अमृता समान । कृपा नारायण करितां होय ॥४॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation · I.P. 237
T^HE high yogis sit contemplative in closed JL rooms; he comes up behind to protect them; he satisfies their hunger and thirst; he cools them when they are hot; they have learned to disregard the sensations of the body. What society delights them save that of Hari alone ? What earthly pleasure or joy affects their souls? They would not choose for an instant the pride of kings. Tuka says, Poison becomes nectar through the gracious favour of Narayana.
Tr. J. Nelson Fraser & K.B. Marathe (1909)
