Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
मराठी मूळ
कांहीं न मागे कोणांसी । तो चि आवडे देवासी॥1॥
देव तयासी ह्मणावें । त्याचे चरणीं लीन व्हावें ॥ध्रु.॥
भूतदया ज्याचे मनीं । त्याचे घरीं चक्रपाणी ॥2॥
नाहीं नाहीं त्यासमान । तुका ह्मणे मी जमान ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
One who asks nothing of anyone is dear to God. Such a one alone deserves to be called divine; at such a one's feet one should bow. In whose mind there is compassion for all beings, in that person's home dwells the Lord. Says Tuka, there is none, none at all, equal to such a one; I am the guarantor of this truth.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.

The character and service of true saints: softer than butter, harder than diamond.
