Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
संवसार तीहीं केला पाठमोरा । नाहीं द्रव्य दारा जया चित्तीं ॥१॥
शुभाशुभ नाहीं हर्षामर्ष अंगीं । जनार्दन जगीं होउनि ठेला ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे देहें दिला एकसरें । जयासि दुसरें नाहीं मग ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Those who have turned their backs on worldly life, who hold no desire for wealth or spouse in their chitta, in whom neither good fortune nor bad provokes elation or resentment: they have become Janardana himself, living in the world. Says Tuka, having surrendered the body once and for all, nothing second remains for them.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
The Saints
The character and service of true saints: softer than butter, harder than diamond.
