Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
आग्रहा नांवें पाप । योगीं सारावे संकल्प ॥1॥
सहजा ऐसें भांडवल । असोनि कां सारा बोल ॥ध्रु.॥
तैं न भेटे तें काय । मना अंगींचे उपाय ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे धरीं सोय । वासनेची फोडा डोय ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Insistence is the name of sin; one should fulfill one's resolves with equanimity. When naturalness itself is the capital, why waste words on anything else? What cannot be obtained through such means? The mind already holds the remedies within itself. Says Tuka, find the true path, and burst open the eyes of desire.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
