Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
हेचि वादकाची कळा । नाहीं येऊं येत बळा ॥1॥
धीर करावा करावा । तरी तो आहे आह्मां देवा ॥ध्रु.॥
रिघावें पोटांत। पायां पडोन घ्यावा अंत ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे वरि । गोडा आणावा उत्तरीं ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
This is the art of the advocate: one cannot win by force alone. One must have patience, and yet that patience is already with us, O Lord. One must enter into the very heart of the matter, fall at the feet, and discover the final outcome. Says Tuka, bring the sweet one forth in Your answer.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
