Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
ऐकतों दाट । आले एकांचें बोभाट ॥1॥
नका विश्वासों यावरी । चोर देहाचे खाणोरी ॥ध्रु.॥
हे चि यांची जोडी। सदा बोडकीं उघडीं ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे न्यावें । ज्याचे त्यासी नाहीं ठावें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I hear the uproar of certain people growing louder. Do not trust them any further; they are robbers of the body's comforts. This alone is their treasure: they are always stripped bare and exposed. Says Tuka, they take from you what is yours, and you do not even know it.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
संत
The Saints
The character and service of true saints: softer than butter, harder than diamond.
