Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
घ्यावी तरी घ्यावी उदंड चि सेवा । द्यावें तरी देवा उदंड चि ॥1॥
ऐसीं कैंचीं आह्मी पुरतीं भांडवलें । आल्या करीं बोलें समाधान ॥ध्रु.॥
व्हावें तरीं व्हावें बहुत चि दुरी । आलिया अंतरीं वसवावें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे तुझें सख्यत्व आपणीं । अससील ॠणी आवडीचा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
If You are to accept service, then accept it in abundance. If You are to give, then give abundantly, O God. Where would we find such ample resources? Let us make peace with whatever comes. If You must be distant, then be very distant; but when You enter the heart, make Your home there fully. Says Tuka, Your friendship with me endures; perhaps You are indebted to my devotion.
