मराठी मूळ
हें तों एक संतांठायीं । लाभ पायीं उत्तम ॥1॥
ह्मणवितां त्याचे दास । पुढें आस उरेना ॥ध्रु.॥
कृपादान केलें संतीं। कल्पांतीं ही सरेना ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे संतसेवा । हा चि हेवा उत्तम॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
This is the one supreme gain found at the feet of the saints. By being called their servant, no further desire remains. The gift of grace bestowed by the saints will never be exhausted even at the end of creation. Says Tuka, service to the saints is the highest aspiration.
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.
