Tukārām's bhōḷē-bhāvika-junāṭa-bhakti-bhāva-makes-everything-just-so; no-fear-garbha-vāsa; Deva's-sāngāta-never-abandon canonical bhāvika-confidence

The verse

भोळे भाविक हे जुनाट चांगले । होय तैसें केलें भक्तिभावें ॥१॥ म्हणउनि चिंता नाहीं आम्हां दासां । न भ्यो गर्भवासा जन्म घेतां ॥ध्रु.॥ आपुलिया इच्छा करूं गदारोळ । भोगूं सर्वकाळ सर्व सुखें ॥२॥ तुका म्हणे आम्हां देवाचा सांगात । नाहीं विसंबत येर येरां ॥३॥

Literal translation

Bhōḷē-bhāvika-junāṭa-good — bhakti-bhāva-makes-it-so. No-chinta-for-dāsas — no-fear-garbha-vāsa. Iccha-gadarōḷa — sarva-kāḷa-sarva-sukha. Tukā: Deva's-sāngāta — never-visambata-each-other.

What it means

A 3-verse bhāvika-confidence text. Simple-minded faithful are the time-honored good — by their devotion-feeling, (the Lord) makes (whatever they have) just-so. Therefore we servants have no anxiety; we don't fear the womb-residence when taking birth. With our own will, we make joyous-noise; we enjoy all-joy at all-times. Tukā says: we have Deva's companionship — we never abandon each other. Pair with 4205 (births-of-any-caste-acceptable-if-Name-stays), 3396 (anti-mukti-pro-rebirth-for-prēma).
