Tukaram Gatha Abhanga 51

In this abhanga Saint Tukaram is describing the fate of a person who can't control his anger.

श्वान शीघ्रकोपी । आपणा घातकर पापी ।।१।।
नाहीं भीड आणीक धीर । उपदेश न जिरे क्षीर ।।२।।
माणसांसि भुंके । विजातीनें घ्यावे थुंके ।।३।।

तुका म्हणे चित्त । मळिण करा ते फजित ।।४।। 

English

1. Shvaan sheeghrakopee, aapana ghaatakar paapi
2. Nahee bheed aaneek dheer, uapadesh na jire ksheer
3. Mansaansi bhunke, vijateene ghyaave thunke
4. Tuka mhane chitta, malin karaa te phajit

Translation

1. A short tempered person is a kind of dog! He is a sinner who is slaying his own self.
2. He maintains no deference for anyone. He has no patience whatsoever. He can't digest the milk of good counsel.
3. He keeps barking at all the people, all the time (talks in rough language with everyone) and this creates a situation in which other people, who are even worse than him, feel like spitting on him (they loath him).
4. Tuka says, such people with filthy hearts should be dealt with strictly and brought to shame.
