Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
अवघे देव साध । परी या अवगुणांचा बाध ॥१॥
म्हणउनी नव्हे सरी । राहे एका एक दुरी ॥ध्रु.॥
ऊंस कांदा एक आळां । स्वाद गोडीचा निराळा ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे नव्हे सरी । विष अमृताची परी ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
All are God's creation, yet the affliction of bad qualities persists. That is why no two things can truly be compared; each remains at a distance from the other. Sugarcane and onion grow in the same plot, yet their taste and sweetness are entirely different. Says Tuka, poison and nectar can never be made equal.
