Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
बहुतां छंदाचें बहु वसे जन । नये वांटूं मन त्यांच्या संगें ॥1॥
करावा जतन आपुला विश्वास । अंगा आला रस आवडीचा ॥ध्रु.॥
सुखाची समाधी हरिकथा माउली । विश्रांति साउली सिणलियांची ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे बुडे बांधोनि दगड । तेथें काय कोड धांवायाचें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The world is full of people with many whims; one should not scatter one's mind in their company. Guard your own faith; let the flavor of devotion permeate your being. The bliss of Hari's story is like a mother, a cool shade for the weary. Says Tuka, one who dives with a stone tied to him drowns. What sense is there in rushing to join such a one?.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
Faith and Trust
The boldness of faith, steadfastness, and the security of trusting in God.
