Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
तूं पांढरा स्पटिक मणी । करिसी आणिकां त्याहुनि ॥1॥
ह्मणोनि तुझ्या दारा । न येत ठकती दातारा ॥ध्रु.॥
तुझी ठावी नांदनूक । अवघा बुडविला लोक ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे ज्याचें घेसी । त्यास हें चि दाखविसी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
You are a white crystal, and You turn others into something even more transparent than Yourself. That is why people hesitate to come to Your door, O Generous One. Your style of living is well known: You have submerged the entire world. Says Tuka, whatever You take from someone, You show them exactly this.
