Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
दुःखाचे डोंगर लागती सोसावे । ऐसें तंव ठावें सकळांसीं ॥1॥
भोग कळों येतो मागिल ते जन्म । उत्तम मध्यम कनिष्ठ ते ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे येथें झांकितील डोळे । भोग देतेवेळे येइल कळों ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Mountains of suffering must be endured; this much is known to everyone. The quality of past lives can be inferred from the kind of experience one receives: high, middle, or low. Says Tuka, those who close their eyes here will come to know the truth when the time of suffering arrives.
