Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
ऐसिया संपत्ती आह्मां संवसारी । भोगाचिया परि काय सांगों ॥1॥
काम तो कामना भोगीतसे देवा । आिंळगणें हेवा चरण चुंबीं ॥ध्रु.॥
शांतीच्या संयोगें निरसला ताप । दुसरें तें पाप भेदबुिद्ध ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे पाहें तिकडे सारिखें । आपुलें पारिखें निरसलें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
How can I describe the wealth of this household and the nature of its enjoyments? O God, desire itself becomes devotion; I embrace your feet and kiss them with longing. Through union with peace, all suffering has dissolved. To perceive duality is the only remaining sin. Says Tuka, when I look in any direction, all is the same. The distinction between self and other has been erased.
