Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
मोहरोनी चित्ता । आणूं हळूं चि वरि हिता ॥1॥
तों हे पडती आघात । खोडी काढिती पंडित ॥ध्रु.॥
संवसारा भेणें । कांहीं उसंती तों पेणें ॥2॥
एखादिया भावें । तुका ह्मणे जवळी यावें ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Slowly winning the mind's trust, I try to draw it toward what is good. But then obstacles arise; the pandits find fault and attack. Afraid of worldly life, I seek even a brief refuge and shelter. Says Tuka, by some means or another, one must come near to God.
