Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
ह्मणऊनि जालों क्षेत्रींचे संन्यासी । चित्त आशापाशीं आवरूनि ॥1॥
कदापि ही नव्हे सीमा उल्लंघन । केलें विसर्जन आव्हानीं च ॥ध्रु.॥
पारिखा तो आतां जाला दुजा ठाव । दृढ केला भाव एकविध ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे कार्यकारणाचा हेवा । नाहीं जीव देवा समपिऩला ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Therefore I became a renunciant right here in this sacred place, reining in my mind from the snares of desire. Never shall I cross the boundary; the invocation was concluded in the very act of beginning. What was foreign has now become a distant second; my devotion has been made single-pointed and firm. Says Tuka, there is no anxiety about cause or effect; my life has been surrendered to God.
