गाथा 58The Moral Ideal

Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram

मराठी मूळ

सदा तळमळ । चित्ताचिये हळहळ ॥१॥

त्याचें दर्शन न व्हावें । शव असतां तो जिवे ॥ध्रु.॥

कुशब्दाची घाणी । अमंगळविली वाणी ॥२॥

नेणे शब्द पर । तुका म्हणे परउपकार ॥३॥

Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)

English Translation

Constant burning, constant anguish in the consciousness. Avoid even the sight of such a one; though a corpse, he walks among the living. The stench of harsh words has defiled his speech. Tuka says: such a one knows nothing of kind words, nothing of doing good for others.

We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
