Tukaram Gatha Abhang 76 - Ata taree pudhe hachi upadesh

 आतां तरी पुढें हाचि उपदेश । नका करूं नाश आयुष्याचा ।।१।।

सकळांच्या पायां माझें दंडवत । आपुलालें चित्त शुद्ध करा ।।२।।

हित तें करावे देवाचें चिंतन । करूनियां मन एकविध ।।३।।

तुका म्हणे लाभ होय तो व्यापार । करा काय फार शिकवावें ।।४।।

 English Script

1. Ata taree pudhe hachi upadesh, naka karu naash aayushyacha

2. Sakalaanchya paya maaze dandavat, aapulale chitta shuddha kara

3. Hit te karave Devaache chintan, karuniyaa man ekavidh

4. Tuka mhane laabh hoy to vyapar, kara kay phaar shikavave.

 Translation

This is a sincere request from Saint Tukaram. He is, in fact, pleading! He is saying that a pure heart and a mind concentrated on God; these are the only things a man must have, in order to gain the highest benefit, God Realization.

 1. Now I have only one advice for all the people. Please do not waste your life.

2. I bow down with my head at your feet and request you all to purify your hearts and seek God.

3. The most beneficial thing to do is to concentrate your mind in God and seek to find your Oneness with Him.

4. Tuka says, what more can I tell you? Please do only those activities which are beneficial for your own self.
