Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
तोंवरि तोंवरि शोभतील गारा । जंव नाहीं हिरा प्रकाशला ॥1॥
तोंवरि तोंवरि शोभतील दीपिका । नुगवता एका भास्करासी ॥2॥
तोंवरि तोंवरि सांगती संताचिया गोष्टी । जंव नाहीं भेटी तुक्यासवें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Pebbles appear splendid only until the diamond has not begun to shine. Lamps seem radiant only until the sun has not risen. People talk of the saints only until they have not met Tuka in person.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
