Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
कल्पतरु रुया नव्हती बाभुळा । पुरविती फळा इिच्छतिया ॥1॥
उदंड त्या गाइऩ ह्मैसी आणि शेऑया । परि त्या निराऑया कामधेनु ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे देव दाखवील दृष्टी । तया सवें भेटी थोर पुण्य ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Wish-fulfilling trees are not thorny acacia. They give fruit to all who desire it. There are many cows, buffaloes, and goats in abundance, yet the wish-fulfilling cow is distinct from them all. Says Tuka, God will reveal Himself to the sight; the encounter with Him is great merit.
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.
