Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
भेणें पळे डोळसा । न कळे मृत्यु तो सरिसा ॥1॥
कैसी जाली दिशाभुली । न वजातिये वाटे चाली ॥ध्रु.॥
संसाराची खंती । मावळल्या तरी शिH ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे हीणा । बुिद्ध चुकली नारायणा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
A person with sight runs from death in fear, not knowing that death runs alongside. How has this bewilderment come about, that one walks a path from which there is no return? Even when one's worry over worldly life subsides, power itself wanes. Says Tuka, the wretched one's intellect has missed Narayana entirely.
