Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
नित्य मनासी करितों विचार । तों हें अनावर विषयलोभी॥1॥
आतां मज राखें आपुलिया बळें । न देखें हे जाळें उगवतां ॥ध्रु.॥
सांपडलों गळीं नाहीं त्याची सत्ता । उगळी मागुता घेतला तो ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे मी तों अYाान चि आहें । परि तुझी पाहें वास देवा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Every day I counsel my own mind, but it remains unruly, hungry for sense pleasures. Now protect me by Your own strength; I cannot see these traps as they appear. I was caught on the hook, but having no power of my own, I swallowed the bait again. Says Tuka, I am truly ignorant, but I look to You, O God.
