 Tukaram Gatha Abhanga 543

Marathi Text

द्रव्याचिया मागें किळकाळाचा लाग । म्हणोनियां संग खोटा त्याचा ॥१॥
निरयाचें मूळ घालुनिया मागें । मांडिली प्रसंगें कथा पुढें ॥ध्रु.॥
आजिच्या प्रसंगें हाचि लाभ घ्यावा । पुढील भार देवावरी घाला ॥२॥
प्रारब्ध कांहीं न पालटे सोसें । तृष्णेचें हें पिसें वांयांविण ॥३॥
तुका म्हणे घेई राहे ऐसें धन । सादर श्रवण करोनियां ॥४॥

Translation

1.      The company of wealth is very illusive. It is not real, because death (kaal) is always chasing it.

2.      I have left my wealth and only after that I am telling you this, in today's kirtan. This wealth is the root cause which takes a man to hell.

3.      This is the main thing I would like you learn in today's kirtan. Place all your burden on God's feet.

4.      No matter how much you may try but you cannot avoid facing what destiny has in storage for you. So, realize the futility in continuously running after desires. It is a waste.

5.      Therefore listen to my advice. Give to respect to it and preserve your spirituality which is the real treasure.
