Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
संसाराच्या भेणें । पळों न लाहेसें केलें ॥1॥
जेथें तेथें आपण आहे । आह्मीं करावें तें काये ॥ध्रु.॥
एकांतींसी ठाव । तिहीं लोकीं नाहीं वाव ॥2॥
गांवा जातों ऐसें । न लगे ह्मणावें तें कैसें ॥3॥
स्वप्नाचे परी । जागा पाहे तंव घरीं ॥4॥
तुका ह्मणे काये । तुझे घेतले म्यां आहे ॥5॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
You have made it so that I cannot even flee from worldly life. Wherever I turn, You are already there; what then am I to do? In all three worlds there is not a single corner of solitude left. I cannot even say I am going somewhere else, for that makes no sense. It is like a dream: one wakes up and finds oneself right at home. Says Tuka, what have I ever taken from You that belongs to You?
