Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
जाणोनि नेणतें करीं माझें मन । तुझी प्रेमखूण देऊनियां ॥1॥
मग मी व्यवहारीं असेन वर्तत । जेवीं जळाआंत पद्मपत्र ॥ध्रु.॥
ऐकोनि नाइकें निंदास्तुति कानीं । जैसा कां उन्मनी योगिराज ॥2॥
देखोनि न देखें प्रपंच हा दृष्टी । स्वप्नऴिचया सृिष्ट चेविल्या जेवीं ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे ऐसें जालियावांचून । करणें तें तें सीण वाटतसे ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Make my mind unknowing, as though it were innocent, by giving it the mark of Your love. Then I shall move through the world like a lotus leaf upon water. Let me hear yet not hear the praise and blame that reach my ears, like a yogi absorbed beyond thought. Let me see yet not see this worldly existence, as one forgets the world of a dream upon waking. Says Tuka, until such a transformation happens, everything I do feels like mere weariness.
