Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
थोडें परी निरें । अविट तें घ्यावें खरें ॥१॥
घ्यावें जेणें नये तुटी । बीज वाढे बीजा पोटीं ॥ध्रु.॥
चित्त ठेवीं ग्वाही । आणिकांशीं चाड नाहीं ॥२॥
आपलें तें हित फार । तुका म्हणे खरें सार ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Take what is small but pure; accept what is genuine and unfading. Take that which knows no depletion, where the seed multiplies within the seed. Keep your mind as witness; there is no need for anything else. Says Tuka, to know one's own true welfare is the real essence.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
