Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
निरोप सांगतां । न धरीं भय न करीं चिंता ॥1॥
असो ज्याचें त्याचे त्याचे माथां । आपण करावी ते कथा ॥ध्रु.॥
उतरावा भार । किंवा न व्हावें सादर ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे धाक । तया इह ना परलोक ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
When delivering a message, do not be afraid and do not worry. Let each person's burden rest upon their own head; you simply speak the truth. Either unload the burden or do not bother showing up at all. Says Tuka, the one who is ruled by fear has neither this world nor the next.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
