Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
अंतराय पडे गोविंदीं अंतर । जो जो घ्यावा भार तो चि बाधी ॥1॥
बैसलिये ठायीं आठवीन पाय । पाहीन तो ठाय तुझा देवा ॥ध्रु.॥
अखंड तें खंडे संकल्पीं विकल्प । मनोजन्य पाप रज्जुसर्प ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे विश्वीं विश्वंभर वसे । राहों ऐसे दशे सुखरूप ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Obstacles create distance from Govinda. Every burden one takes up only hinders further. Wherever I sit, I will remember your feet and seek that place where you dwell, O God. The continuous flow is broken by doubts and conflicting thoughts; the sin born of the mind is like mistaking a rope for a snake. Says Tuka, the Lord pervades the entire universe. Let me remain in that blissful state.
