Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
देहबुद्धि वसे लोभ जयां चित्तीं । आपुलें जाणती परावें जे ॥१॥
तयासि चालतां पाहिजे सिदोरी । दुःख पावे करी असत्य तो ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे धर्म रक्षाया कारणें । छाया इच्छी उन्हें तापला तो ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Those whose minds are steeped in body-consciousness and greed, who distinguish between 'mine' and 'another's,' need provisions for their journey and suffer misery because they live by falsehood. Says Tuka, the one scorched by the sun seeks shade in order to protect what is righteous.
