राम
गाथा 1042The Moral Ideal

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram

मराठी मूळ

न करावी स्तुति माझी संतजनीं । होइऩल या वचनीं अभिमान ॥1॥

भारें भवनदी नुतरवे पार । दुरावती दूर तुमचे पाय ॥2॥

तुका ह्मणे गर्व पुरवील पाठी । होइऩल माझ्या तुटी विठोबाची ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

O saints, do not praise me, for pride will arise from such words. Under the weight of pride, one cannot cross the river of worldly existence, and your feet grow distant from me. Says Tuka, pride will betray me in the end and sever my bond with Vithoba.

We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
