Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
माझी मज जाती आवरली देवा । नव्हतां या गोवा इंिद्रयांचा ॥1॥
कासया मी तुझा ह्मणवितों दास । असतों उदास सर्व भावें ॥ध्रु.॥
भयाचिया भेणें धरियेली कास । न पुरतां आस काय थोरी ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे आपआपुलीं जतन । कैचें थोरपण मग तुह्मां ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
My own nature has ensnared me, O God. Had there not been this entanglement of the senses, why would I call myself Your servant? I would have remained indifferent to all things. Out of fear I clutched Your hem; if my hope is not fulfilled, what is the use of Your greatness? Says Tuka, each must look after his own; without that, where is Your glory?
