Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
पोटीं जन्मती रोग । तरि कां ह्मणावे आप्तवर्ग ॥1॥
रानीं वसती औषधी । तरि कां ह्मणाव्या निपराधी ॥2॥
तैसें शरीराचें नातें । तुका ह्मणे सर्व आप्तें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Diseases are born within the body itself; then why call them strangers? Medicinal herbs grow in the wild; then why call them uninvolved? Says Tuka, even so is the body's relationship with all its kin.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
