Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
 किती एका दिसीं । बुिद्ध जाली होती ऐसी ॥1॥
 कांहीं करावें स्वहित । तों हें न घडे उचित ॥ध्रु.॥
 अवलंबुनी भीक। लाज सांडिली लौकिक ॥2॥
 तुका ह्मणे दीन । जालों मनुष्यपणा हीन ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
On how many days has the thought arisen: I should do something for my own spiritual good? Yet the right moment never comes. I have taken up begging, casting aside all worldly shame. Says Tuka, I have become forlorn, lower even than human dignity.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
पाप बोध
Confession and Sin
Raw, unflinching accounts of personal failure, weakness, and the weight of sin.
