Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
कोठें नाहीं अधिकार । गेले नर वांयां ते ॥1॥
ऐका हें सोपें वर्म । न लगे श्रम चिंतना ॥ध्रु.॥
मृत्याचिये अंगीं छाये । उपाये चि खुंटतां ॥2॥
तुका म्हणे अवघे जन । येथें मन असों द्या ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
There is no qualification needed here. Those who fail to see this waste their human lives. Listen to this simple truth: contemplation requires no laborious effort. In the shadow of Death, when all other remedies fail, let the mind rest here. Says Tuka, let all people place their minds upon this.
