Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
निरोधाचें मज न साहे वचन । बहु होतें मन कासावीस ॥1॥
ह्मणऊनि जीवा न साहे संगति । बैसतां एकांतीं गोड वाटे ॥ध्रु.॥
देहाची भावना वासनेचा संग । नावडे उबग आला यांचा ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे देव अंतरे ज्यामुळें । आशामोहोजाळें दुःख वाढे ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I cannot bear obstructive words. My mind grows deeply troubled. That is why I cannot bear worldly company. Sitting alone feels sweet to me. I am weary of the body's claims and the company of desires. I am repelled by them now. Says Tuka, whatever causes God to grow distant, whatever grows from the net of desire and delusion, that only increases sorrow.
