Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
चोरें चोरातें करावा उपदेश । आपुला अभ्यास असेल तो ॥१॥
शिंदळीच्या मागें वेचितां पाउलें । होईल आपुलें तिच्या ऐसें ॥ध्रु.॥
तुका म्हणे भितो पुढिलिया दत्ता । म्हणऊनि चिंता उपजली ॥२॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
A thief teaches a thief only what he himself practices. Waste your steps trailing a wayward woman, you will become like her. Says Tuka, I fear what is already assigned ahead, and so this anxiety has arisen.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
