Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
माझे तों स्वभाव मज अनावर । तुज ही देतां भार कांहीं नव्हे ॥1॥
ऐसें कळों आलें मज नारायणा । जागृती स्वपना ताळ नाहीं ॥ध्रु.॥
संपादितों तो अवघा बाहए रंग । तुझा नाहीं संग अभ्यंतरीं ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे सत्या नाहीं पाठी पोट । असतें निघोंट एकी जाती ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
My own nature is beyond my control, yet for You, O Lord, bearing this burden is nothing. This much I have understood, O Narayana: between waking and dreaming there is no consistency. All that I manage is the outer appearance, but Your presence is not yet within. Says Tuka, truth has no front or back; if it were pure, it would go through as one.
