Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
नम्र जाला भूतां । तेणें कोंडिलें अनंता ॥1॥
हें चि शूरत्वाचे अंग । हरी आणिला श्रीरंग ॥ध्रु.॥
अवघा जाला पण । लवण सकळां कारण ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे पाणी । पाताळ तें परी खणी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
He who became humble before all beings has captured the Infinite. This is the true mark of valor: he has drawn Shri Ranga, Hari himself, near. Like salt that dissolves completely, he has become essential to all. Says Tuka, water lies deep underground, yet one must dig to reach it.
