Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
देवावरिल भार । काढूं नये कांहीं पर ॥1॥
तानभुके आठवण । घडे तें बरें चिंतन ॥ध्रु.॥
देखावी नििंश्चती । ते चि अंतर श्रीपती ॥2॥
वैभव सकळ । तुका मानितो विटाळ ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
The burden placed upon God should not be taken back for any reason. When hunger and thirst remind us of Him, that itself is good contemplation. Let unwavering faith be seen, for that alone is closeness to God. Says Tuka, I regard all worldly grandeur as defilement.
