गाथा 1118The Moral Ideal

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram

मराठी मूळ

देव होसी तरी आणिकांतें करिसी । संदेह येविशीं करणें न लगे ॥1॥

दुष्ट होसी तरी अणिकांतें करिसी । संदेह येविशीं करणें न लगे ॥2॥

तुका ह्मणे जें दर्पणीं बिंबलें । तें तया बाणलें निश्चयेसीं ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

If you are divine, you will make others divine. Of this there is no doubt. If you are wicked, you will make others wicked. Of this there is no doubt. Says Tuka, what is reflected in the mirror is what has lodged in that one, fixed and certain.

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