Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
आह्मां कथा आवश्यक । येर संपादूं लौकिक ॥1॥
जैसी तैसी माय बरी । मानिल्या त्या माना येरी ॥ध्रु.॥
व्यालीचा कळवळा । जीव बहुत कोंवळा ॥2॥
कवतुकें वावरें । तुका ह्मणे या आधारें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
For us, sacred discourse is essential; we manage all other worldly matters as they come. A mother is good just as she is; honor those who accept you. A mother's tender concern springs from a very soft chitta. Says Tuka, it is by such play and movement, by this very support, that we live.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
संत
The Saints
The character and service of true saints: softer than butter, harder than diamond.
