Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
शोकें शोक वाढे । हिमतीचे धीर गाढे ॥१॥
येथें केले नव्हे काई । लंडीपण खोटें भाई ॥ध्रु.॥
करिती होया होय । परी नव्हे कोणी साह्य ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे घडी । साधिलिया एक थोडी ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Grief only multiplies grief, but the courageous remain steadfast in their resolve. Nothing can be accomplished here through cowardice, O brother. Those who act with determination bring things into being, though no one else may come to help. Says Tuka, even one small moment, when seized with effort, is enough.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
Faith and Trust
The boldness of faith, steadfastness, and the security of trusting in God.
