Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
किती विवंचना करीतसें जीवीं । मन धांवडवी दाही दिशा ॥1॥
कोणा एका भावें तुह्मी अंगीकार । करावा विचार या च साटीं ॥ध्रु.॥
इतर ते आतां लाभ तुच्छ जाले । अनुभवा आले गुणागुण ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे लागो अखंड समाधि । जावें प्रेमबोधीं बुडोनियां ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
How much more deliberation must I carry in my heart? The mind races in all ten directions. By some way or another, please accept me, O Lord; this is my only purpose. All other gains now seem worthless; their qualities and flaws have been experienced. Says Tuka, may unbroken absorption take hold, and may I drown in the ocean of divine love.
