Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
आYाा पाळुनियां असें एकसरें । तुमचीं उत्तरें संतांचीं हीं ॥1॥
भागवूनि देह ठेवियेला पायीं । चरणावरि डोइऩ येथुनें चि॥ध्रु.॥
येणें जाणें हें तों उपाधीचे मूळ । पूजा ते सकळ अकर्तव्य ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे असें चरणींचा रज । पदीं च सहज जेथें तेथें ॥3॥ ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I abide steadfastly by your commands, O saints. I have surrendered this body at Your feet, keeping my head upon Your feet from this place onward. Coming and going is the root of worldly entanglement; all worship beyond this is unnecessary action. Says Tuka, I am the dust of Your feet, naturally present wherever I may be.

The Saints
The character and service of true saints: softer than butter, harder than diamond.
