Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
अवघी मिथ्या आटी । राम नाहीं तंव कंठीं ॥1॥
सावधान सावधान । उगवीं संकल्पीं हें मन ॥ध्रु.॥
सांडिलें तें मांडे। आघ्र उरल्या काळें दंडे ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे आलें भागा । देउनि चिंतीं पांडुरंगा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
All effort is futile as long as Rama is not on your lips. Be alert, be alert! Untangle the mind from its own projections. What you abandoned will pile up again, and remaining karma will punish you in due time. Says Tuka, accept what has come to your lot, and remembering that, contemplate Panduranga.

The Power of the Name
The supremacy of nama-smarana: God's name as the highest practice.
