 Tukaram Gatha Abhanga 545

Marathi Text
दुःखाचे डोंगर लागती सोसावे । ऐसें तंव ठावें सकळांसीं ॥१॥
कांहीं न करिती विचार हिताचा । न करिती वाचा नामघोष ॥२॥
भोगें कळों येती मागिल ते जन्म । उत्तम मध्यम कनिष्ठ ते ॥३॥
तुका म्हणे येथें झांकितील डोळे । भोग देते वेळे येईल कळों ॥४॥

Translation
1. Everyone knows that in this Human birth we have to encounter mountains of sorrow.
2. In spite of that people do not think about what is good for them. They do not resort to chanting the name of God.
3. The kind of experiences we get in this life are an indication of the kind of deeds we did in the past birth, good, medium or bad!
4. These people will turn a blind eye to this knowledge and repent later, when they will have to suffer punishment for their mistake.
