Gatha Abhang 846 - Buddhichaa janitaa lakshmichaa patee
Marathi Text
बुद्धीचा जनिता लक्ष्मीचा पति । आठवितां चित्तीं काय नव्हे
॥१॥
आणिकां उपायां कोण वांटी मन । सुखाचें निधान पांडुरंग ॥२॥
गीती गावों नाचों छंदें वाहो टाळी । वैष्णवांचे मेळीं सुखरूप ॥३॥
अनंत ब्रम्हांडें एके रोमावळी । आम्ही केला भोळीं भावें उभा ॥४॥
लटिका हा केला संवसारसिंधु । मोक्ष खरा बंधु नाहीं पुढें ॥५॥
तुका म्हणे ज्याच्या नामाचे अंकित । राहिलों
निंश्चित त्याच्या बळें ॥६॥
Translation
A
saint may appear as a simple, unassuming person, but the power that he gets
from his oneness with God is infinite. They perceive and try to describe God,
the creator of this Universe, in which we live. If you travel from one end to
the other at the speed of light, it will take 30 Billion years!! Or more because
while we are travelling it will expand even further by another few billion
years! Here is a mind boggling description from Tukaram Maharaj about the size
of God! Countless Universes are built on just
one hair of His body!!!!!
1. Shri Vishnu is the giver of Intelligence. If
you just remember Him in your heart, is there anything that you will not
obtain?
2. Shri Pandurang is the great treasure of
happiness. Why and who will divert his mind in going to any other place to
achieve anything else?
3. We will sing and dance happily in the company
of Vaishnavas and clap in a nice rhythm!
4. Countless Universes are built on just one
hair of His body (So, you can imagine His endless infinite formless form). With
our plain hearted loving nature, we have motivated such great Lord to stand on
a brick!
5. I have realized that this world is not real.
So, henceforth, I will not be bound by any compulsions of re-birth and even
Moksha is not relevant for me.
6. Tuka says, I have become a servant of this
God and on the strength of my service I have become completely worry-free.
Roman Script
1. Buddhichaa janitaa lakshmeechaa pati,
aathavitaa chittee kaay navhe
2. Aanikaa upaayaa kon vaatee man,
sukhaache nidhaan paandurang
3. Geetee gaavo naacho chhande vaaho
taalee, vaishnavaanche melee sukhroop
4. Anant bhramaande eke romaavalee,
aamhee kelaa bholee bhaave ubhaa
5. Latikaa haa kelaa sanvasaarsindhu,
moksha kharaa bandhu naahee pudhe
6. Tuka mhane jyaachyaa naamaache
ankit, raahilo nishchint tyaachyaa bale.
