Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
डोऑयामध्यें जैसें कणु । अणु तें हि न समाये ॥1॥
तैसें शुद्ध करीं हित । नका चित्त बाटवूं ॥ध्रु.॥
आपल्याचा कळवळा। आणिका बाळावरि न ये ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे बीज मुडा । जैशा चाडा पिकाच्या ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Just as a tiny speck in the eye, even the smallest particle, cannot be tolerated, so too keep the mind pure for your own benefit. Do not let it be corrupted. The concern one has for one's own child does not extend to another's. Says Tuka, the seed must be sound if you desire a good harvest.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
