Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
योगाचें तें भाग्य क्षमा । आधीं दमा इंद्रियें ॥१॥
अवघीं भाग्यें येती घरा । देव सोयरा जालिया ॥ध्रु.॥
मिरासीचें म्हूण सेत । नाहीं देत पीक उगें ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे उचित जाणां । उगीं सिणा काशाला ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The fortune of yoga is forbearance; first subdue the senses. When God becomes your kinsman, all blessings come to your door of their own accord. Just because a field is inherited does not mean the harvest springs up effortlessly. Says Tuka, know what is fitting and do not exhaust yourself for nothing.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
The Moral Ideal
