Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
शांतीपरतें नाहीं सुख । येर अवघें ची दुःख ॥१॥
म्हणउनी शांति धरा । उतराल पैल तीरा ॥ध्रु.॥
खवळलिया कामक्रोधीं । अंगी भरती आधिव्याधी ॥२॥
म्हणे त्रिविध ताप । जाती मग आपेंआप ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
There is no happiness greater than peace; everything else is only suffering. Therefore hold fast to peace, and you will reach the far shore. When lust and anger are inflamed, the body fills with affliction and disease. Says Tuka, the three kinds of suffering then vanish on their own.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
