राम
गाथा 425The Nature of God

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha

मराठी मूळ

घडी मोडी हेळामात्रें पापपुण्यसंचिता । भवदुःख कोण वारी तुजवांचुनि चिंता ॥१॥

धर्म गा जागो तुझा तूं चि कृपाळू राजा । जाणसी जीवींचें गा न सांगतां सहजा ॥ध्रु.॥

घातली लोळणी गा पुंडलीकें वाळवंटीं । पंढरी पुण्य ठाव नीरे भीवरे तटीं ।

न देखे दुसरें गा । जाली अदृश्यदृष्टी । वोळला प्रेमदाता केली अमृतवृष्टी ॥२॥

आणीक उपमन्यु एक बाळ धाकुटें । न देखे न चलवे जना चालते वाटे ।

घातली लोळणी गा हरिनाम बोभाटे । पावला त्याकारणें धांव घातली नेटें ॥३॥

बैसोनि खोळी शुक राहे गर्भ आंधळा । शीणला येरझारी दुःख आठवी वेळा ।

मागील सोसिलें तें ना भीं म्हणे गोपाळा । पावला त्याकारणें । लाज राखिली कळा ॥४॥

न देखे जो या जना तया दावी आपणा । वेगळा सुखदुःखा मोहो सांडवी धना ।

आपपर तें ही नाहीं बंधुवर्ग सज्जना । तुकया ते चि परी जाली पावें नारायणा ॥५॥

भगवंता तुजकारणें मेलों जीता चि कैसी । निष्काम बुद्धी ठेली चळण नाहीं तयासी ।

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

In an instant you overturn the accumulated store of merit and sin. Who but you can remove the sorrow of existence? Your justice is awake, for you are the compassionate King who knows the heart without being told. Pundalik threw himself down in the sands of Pandharpur on the sacred bank of the Bhima, and his gaze became unseen to all else; the Lord of love appeared and rained nectar. Then there was the child Upamanyu, small and helpless, unable to see or walk among people; he cried out Hari's name, and the Lord rushed to him with great force. And Shuka, blind within the womb, exhausted by the cycles of birth; he cried out to Gopala, and the Lord came to protect his honor. Says Tuka, that same grace has come to me; may I reach Narayana, who shows himself to those who cannot see and frees them from the bonds of pleasure, pain, and worldly attachment.
