Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
गव्हाराचें ज्ञान अवघा रजोगुण । सुखवासी होऊन विषय भोगी ॥1॥
त्यासी ज्ञानउपदेश केला । संगेंविण त्याला राहावेना ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे संग उत्तम असावा । याविण उपावा काय सांगों ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The knowledge of the pleasure-seeker is all passion. He dwells in comfort and indulges in sensory enjoyments. Even when spiritual teaching is offered to him, he cannot live without worldly company. Says Tuka, one must keep good company. Beyond this, what other remedy can I suggest?.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
