Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
चित्त समाधानें । तरी विष वाटे सोनें ॥१॥
बहु खोटा अतिशय । जाणां भले सांगों काय ॥ध्रु.॥
मनाच्या तळमळें । चंदनें ही अंग पोळे ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे दुजा । उपचार पीडा पूजा ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
When chitta rests in contentment, even poison seems as gold. How very false is all of this, what shall I tell the good people? When chitta is in turmoil, even sandalwood scorches the body. Says Tuka, any other remedy is torment; even worship becomes affliction.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
