The verse
कोण आमचीं योगतपें । करूं बापें जाणावीं ॥१॥
गीत संतसंगें गाऊं । उभीं ठाऊं जागरणीं ॥ध्रु.॥
आमुचा तो नव्हे लाग । करूं त्याग जावया ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे इंद्रियांसी । ये चि रसीं रंगवूं ॥३॥
Literal translation
What-yoga-tapa-of-ours — Father-knows. Sing-gītī-santa-sanga — stand-jāgaraṇi. Not-our-lāga — tyāga-of-going. Tukā: indriyas-dyed-in-this-rasa.
What it means
A 3-verse jāgaraṇa-with-santas text. What yoga-tapas have we? Let the Father know them. We'll sing in santa-sanga, standing in all-night vigil. We have no clinging (to other paths); we renounce going-elsewhere. Let the senses be dyed in this very rasa. The Vārkarī jāgaraṇa (all-night vigil-bhajan) is the chosen-tapa — replacing classical yoga-tapas.
For someone today
