My great friend Nalin Sharda, Electrical engineer, IIT Delhi, resident in Australia, has prepared this video! Enjoy it...... Tukaram Gatha Abhanga 536 Marathi Text संसाराचा माथा भार । काही पार न ठेवीं ॥१॥ भक्तीची ते जाती ऐसी । सर्वस्वावी मुकावें ॥२॥ भिक्षा आणि वेवसाव । कला करी तो गाढव ॥३॥ करुनि वस्ती बाजारी । म्हणवी कासया निस्पृही ॥४॥ प्रसाद आडुनी कवी । केलें तूप पाणी तेवीं ॥५॥ तुका म्हणे होई शूर । किंवा निसूर मजूर ॥६॥ Roman Script 1. Sansaaraacha maatha bhaar, kahee paar na thevee 2. Bhakteechee te jaatee aisee, sarvaswaasee mukaave 3. Bhiksha ani vevsaav, kala karee to gadhav 4. Karoonee vastee baajaaree, mhanavee kaasaya nispruhee 5. Prasaad adunee kavee, kele toop paani tevee 6. Tuka mhane hoi shoor, kinva nishoor major. Translation 1. Once you have taken the burden of these household responsibilities, then there's nothing else that you can do. 2. The basic concept of Bhakti (devotional path) is such that you have to leave everything else aside. 3. If you have to go to households for alms (as a part of spiritual pursuit), then you should not confuse it with a profession. It's not a profession. Anyone making such confusion can only be called a fool. 4. A man who goes to the market with a desire to earn profit and calls himself a selfless person! Why is he doing that? 5. Some fake poets just copy verses from an enlightened person and construct their own poetry. Isn't this like mixing water in ghee? 6. Tuka says, either one should become a brave soldier or just remain an ordinary labourer. *** If you wish you too can record five videos of five abhangs and I'll post them on "Deepak Phadnis" YouTube channel. I'll send you translations.
