Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
भांडावें तों हित । ठायी पडा तें उचित ॥1॥
नये खंडों देऊं वाद । आह्मां भांडवलभेद ॥ध्रु.॥
शब्दासारसें भेटी । नये पडों देऊं तुटी ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे आळस । तो चि कारणांचा नास ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
One should quarrel only for the sake of truth; settle matters where they properly belong. We must not let the debate be interrupted, for our very capital is at stake in this difference. Let the meeting match the word; do not allow a rupture. Says Tuka, laziness is the destruction of all worthy causes.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
