Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
रडोनियां मान । कोण मागतां भूषण ॥१॥
देवें दिलें तरी गोड । राहे रुचि आणि कोड ॥ध्रु.॥
लावितां लावणी । विके भीके केज्या दानी ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे धीरा । विण कैसा होतो हिरा ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Who ever gained honor by weeping and begging for it? What God gives freely is truly sweet; both relish and delight remain with it. If you cultivate a garden, it yields fruit you can sell, give away, or enjoy. Says Tuka, without patience, how can a stone ever become a diamond?
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
श्रद्धा
Faith and Trust
The boldness of faith, steadfastness, and the security of trusting in God.
