Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
बोलायाचा त्यासीं । नको संबंध मानसीं ॥१॥
जया घडली संतनिंदा । तुज विसरूनि गोविंदा ॥ध्रु.॥
जळो त्याचें तोंड । नको दृष्टीपुढें भांड ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे देवा । तया दुरी मज ठेवा ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Do not keep any connection, even in the mind, with one who has slandered the saints and forgotten You, O Govinda. Let his mouth burn. Keep that quarrelsome wretch out of my sight. Says Tuka, O God, keep me far from such a one.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
संत
The Saints
The character and service of true saints: softer than butter, harder than diamond.
