Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
मूळ करणें संतां । नाहीं मिळत उचिता ॥1॥
घडे कासयानें सेवा । सांग ब्रह्मांडाच्या जीवा ॥ध्रु.॥
सागर सागरीं । सामावेसी कैंची थोरी ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे भावें । शरण ह्मणवितां बरवें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
How can one serve the saints at their root? What is freely given does not come easily. Tell me, O soul of the universe, how is such service possible? The ocean merging into the ocean: where is the greatness in that? Says Tuka, it is best to simply surrender and call oneself devoted.
