Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
विषयीं विसर पडिला निःशेष । अंगीं ब्रह्मरस ठसावला ॥1॥
लाभाचिया सोसें पुढें चाली मना । धनाचा कृपणा लोभ जैसा ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे गंगासागरसंगमीं । अवघ्या जाल्या ऊमिऩ एकमय ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Forgetfulness of sense-objects has become complete. The essence of Brahman has settled deep within my being. Driven by the eagerness of gain, the mind presses forward, like a miser's craving for wealth. Says Tuka, at the meeting of the Ganga and the sea, all the waves have become one.
