Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
॥
मराठी मूळ
ऐका जी संतजन । सादर मन करूनि ॥1॥
सकळांचें सार एक । कंटक ते तजावे ॥ध्रु.॥
विशेषता कांद्याहूनि । सेवित्या घाणी आगळी ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे ज्याची जोडी । ते परवडी बैसीजे॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Listen, O holy ones, with attentive minds. The essence for all is one: avoid those who are like thorns. Worse than an onion is the stench of one who consumes it. Says Tuka, sit in the company of those whose companionship is profitable.
