Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
त्याचें सुख नाहीं आलें अनुभवा । कठिण हें जिवा तोंचिवरी ॥१॥
मागिलांचे दुःख लागों नेदी अंगा । अंतर हें संगा नेदी पुढें ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे सर्वविशीं हा संपन्न । जाणती महिमान श्रुति ऐसें ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
His joy has not yet come into experience. It is hard on the soul until then. He does not let the sorrows of the past touch the body. This distance he does not let grow further. Tuka says: in all respects, he is complete. The Vedas alone know such greatness.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
