Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
कैसें करूं ध्यान कैसा पाहों तुज । वर्म दावीं मज याचकासी ॥1॥
कैसी भक्ती करूं सांग तुझी सेवा । कोण्या भावें देवा आतुडसी ॥ध्रु.॥
कैसी कीर्ती वाणूं कैसा लक्षा आणूं । जाणूं हा कवण कैसा तुज ॥2॥
कैसा गाऊं गीतीं कैसा ध्याऊं चित्तीं । कैसी िस्थती मती दावीं मज ॥3॥
तुका ह्मणे जैसें दास केलें देवा। तैसें हें अनुभवा आणीं मज ॥4॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
How shall I meditate? How shall I behold You? Show me the secret, for I am a beggar. How shall I practice devotion? Tell me what service You require. By what feeling can You be reached, O God? How shall I sing Your glory? How shall I bring You to mind? How shall I know You? How shall I sing of You in song? How shall I contemplate You in my heart? Show me the right way and understanding. Says Tuka, just as You made me Your servant, O God, so bring me to that experience.
