Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
न करीं रे संग राहें रे निश्चळ । लागों नेदीं मळ ममतेचा ॥१॥
या नांवें अद्वैत खरें ब्रम्हज्ञान । अनुभवावांचून बडबड ते ॥ध्रु.॥
इंद्रियांचा जय वासनेचा क्षय । संकल्पा ही न ये वरी मन ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे न ये जाणीव अंतरा । अंतरीं या थारा आनंदाचा ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Do not cling to attachments; remain steady and still. Do not let the stain of possessiveness touch you. This is what is called true non-duality, true knowledge of Brahman; without direct experience, all talk is mere chatter. Conquer the senses, destroy desire, and let not even a thought of craving rise in the mind. Says Tuka, let no sense of separateness enter your heart; within, let there be a dwelling place of bliss.

The case for letting go of worldly attachments and turning wholly to God.
