Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
योग तप या चि नांवें । गिळत व्हावें अभिमानें ॥1॥
करणें तें हें चि करा । सत्यें बरा व्यापार ॥ध्रु.॥
तरि खंडे येरझार। निघे भार देहाचा ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे मानामान । हें बंधन नसावें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The true meaning of yoga and austerity is this: to swallow one's ego willingly. Practice this one thing, and let your dealings be rooted in truth. Then the cycle of coming and going will cease, and the burden of embodiment will be lifted. Says Tuka, let there be no attachment to honor or dishonor; that itself is bondage.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
Renunciation
The case for letting go of worldly attachments and turning wholly to God.
