Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
तेव्हां होतों भोगाधीन । तुह्मां भिन्न पासूनि ॥1॥
आतां बोलों नये ऐसें । आनारिसें वेगळें ॥ध्रु.॥
सन्मुख जालों स्वामीकडे । भव औठडे निराळे ॥2॥
चिंतिलें तें चिंतामणी । फिटे धणी तों द्यावें ॥3॥
सहज िस्थत आहे अंगीं । प्रसंगीं ते वंचेना॥4॥
तुमची देवा धरिली कास । केला नास प्रपंचा ॥5॥
तुका ह्मणे जाणोनि वर्म । कर्माकर्में ठेविलीं ॥6॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
I was once subject to sensory pleasures, separate from You. Now I should not speak in that old, different way. I have turned to face my Master; worldly bonds stand apart on their own. The wish-fulfilling gem grants whatever is contemplated; give until full satisfaction is reached. This poise abides naturally in the body and does not deceive in times of need. I have grasped Your hem, O God, and destroyed my worldly attachments. Says Tuka, knowing the inner truth, I have laid aside both action and inaction.
