Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
॥
मराठी मूळ
परपुरुषाचें सुख भोगे तरी । उतरोनि करीं घ्यावें सीस ॥१॥
संवसारा आगी आपुलेनि हातें । लावूनि मागुतें पाहूं नये ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे व्हावें तयापरी धीट । पतंग हा नीट दीपासोई ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
If you would enjoy the bliss of the supreme lover, then cut off your own head and offer it freely. Set fire to your worldly life with your own hands and never look back. Says Tuka, one must be as fearless as the moth that flies straight into the flame.
