Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
कोणा चिंता आड । कोणा लोकलाज नाड ॥1॥
कैंचा राम अभागिया । करी कटकट वांयां ॥ध्रु.॥
स्मरणाचा राग । क्रोधें विटाळलें अंग ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे जडा । काय चाले या दगडा॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
For some, worldly anxiety stands in the way. For others, the fear of public opinion is the obstacle. Where then is Rama for such unfortunate ones? They make a futile fuss for nothing. Their attempt at remembrance is polluted by anger within. Says Tuka, what progress can be made with such dull stones?.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
संसार
