गाथा 1459The Moral Ideal

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram

मराठी मूळ

या चि नांवें दोष । राहे अंतरीं कििल्मष ॥1॥

मना अंगीं पुण्य पाप । शुभ उत्तम संकल्प ॥ध्रु.॥

बिजाऐसीं फळें । उत्तम कां अमंगळें ॥2॥

तुका ह्मणे चित्त । शुद्ध करावें हे नित ॥3॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

What is called sin is merely the impurity that lingers within. Merit and sin dwell in the mind; pure and noble thoughts are their remedy. As the seed, so the fruit: noble or inauspicious. Says Tuka, the chitta should be purified every single day.

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