गाथा 136The Moral Ideal

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram

मराठी मूळ

शिंदळा साल्याचा नाहीं हा विश्वास । बाईल तो त्यास न विसंभे ॥१॥

दुष्ट बुद्धि चोरी करी निरंतर । तो म्हणे इतर लोक तैसे ॥२॥

तुका म्हणे जया चित्तीं जे वासना । तयाची भावना तयापरी ॥३॥

काला चेंडुफळी - अभंग १००

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

The scoundrel, that son of a whore, trusts no one. He cannot let his own wife out of sight. The wicked mind steals constantly. He insists all other people do the same. Says Tuka, whatever desire sits in one's chitta, one's perception is shaped accordingly.

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