Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
आवडी येते कळों । गुणें चिन्हें उमटती ॥1॥
पोटीचें ओठीं उभें राहे । चित्त साहे मनासी ॥ध्रु.॥
डाहोळे याची भूक गर्भा । ताटीं प्रभा प्रतिबिंबे ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे मानोन घ्यावें । वाटे खावें वाटतें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
When love stirs within, it makes itself known through signs and symptoms. What is in the chitta stands upon the lips; the chitta consents to the mind. Just as a pregnant mother's cravings reveal what the womb holds, so one's inner radiance is reflected outwardly. Says Tuka, accept what arises; eat what you feel like eating.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
