Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
This desire arose in my mind; it is the Lord's doing. If the gift of His grace is granted, then I shall watch this wonder unfold. If the assurance of fearlessness comes, I shall bow and receive that command upon my head. Let devotion be employed for the sake of the devoted. Let the glory rest upon the master's head, and let the servant carry out the service. Says Tuka, the one who makes a plea should be met with a fitting answer.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
