Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
धन्य बा हएा ऐशा नारी । घरीं दारीं नांदती ॥1॥
चोरूनिया तुजपाशीं । येतां त्यांसी न कळतां ॥ध्रु.॥
दोन्हीं ठायीं समाधान । सम कठीण बहुतचि ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे जीवासाठीं । दुर्लभ भेटी ते देवा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Blessed are those women who live as wives and householders, yet manage to steal away to You without their families knowing. To keep both spheres content at once is exceedingly difficult. Says Tuka, for the sake of the soul, the meeting with God is the rarest of all.
