 Gatha Abhang 940 - Nisthaavant bhaava bhaktaacha

Marathi Text

निष्ठावंत भाव भक्तांचा स्वधर्म । निर्धार हें वर्म चुकों नये ॥१॥
निष्काम निश्चळ विठ्ठलीं विश्वास । पाहों नये वास आणिकांची ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे ऐसा कोण उपेक्षिला । नाहीं ऐकिला ऐसा कोणीं ॥३॥

 

Roman Script

1. Nisthaavant bhaava bhaktaachaa swadharma, nirdhaar he varma chuko naye

2. Nishkaam nishachal Vitthalee vishwaas, paaho naye vaas aanikaanchee

3. Tuka mhane aisaa kon upekshilaa, naahee aikilaa aisaa konee.

 

Translation

1. It's a devotee's duty to have loving faith in Shri Vitthal and to decide to worship Him throughout their life. Devotees should never forget these two important things.

2. A devotee should have selfless and unwavering trust in Shri Vitthal. In any difficult situation, they should not look to anyone else for help except Vitthal.

3. Tuka says, "Tell me, which devotee who has such exclusive devotion has Shri Vitthal ever ignored? At least, I haven't heard of such a thing yet.
