Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
हित जाणे चित्त । कळों येतसे उचित ॥1॥
वरदळ तें नुतरे कसीं । आगीमध्यें तें रसीं ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे करुनी खरें । ठेवितां तें पुढें बरें॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The chitta knows what is beneficial, and what is proper becomes apparent. Surface material does not survive the test. In the fire, the true essence is revealed. Says Tuka, what is made genuine stands well when placed before the future.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
