Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
अइकाल परी ऐसें नव्हे बाई । न संडा या सोई भ्रताराची ॥१॥
नव्हे आराणुक लौकिकापासून । आपुल्या आपण गोविलें तें ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे मन कराल कठीण । त्या या निवडोन मजपाशीं ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Listen, but it is not so easy, dear one. Do not abandon the care of your husband. This is no mere withdrawal from social reputation. You have entangled yourself, by yourself. Tuka says: if you will make your mind firm, then come to me, having disentangled yourself.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
