Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
सोसें वाढे दोष । जाला न पालटे कस ॥1॥
ऐसें बरवें वचन । करितां तें नारायण ॥ध्रु.॥
असे प्रारब्ध नेमें । श्रमुचि उरे श्रम ॥2॥
सुख देते शांती । तुका ह्मणे धरितां चित्तीं ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Through endurance, faults only grow stronger; the tested character does not change. But this is true: the right words, when spoken, become Narayana Himself. Destiny keeps its appointed course, and effort only yields more effort. Says Tuka, peace gives contentment to those who hold it steady in the chitta.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
