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.
