Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
धन्ये शुद्ध जाती । धरीं लौकरी परती ॥1॥
ऐकिलें तें चि कानीं । होय परिपाक मनीं ॥ध्रु.॥
कळवळा पोटीं । सावधान हितासाठीं ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे भाव । त्याचा तो चि जाणां देव ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Blessed is the pure lineage; quickly turn and come back. Let what you have heard with your ears ripen within the mind. Let concern well up deep within, wakeful for your own welfare. Says Tuka, know that one's devotion itself is one's God.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
