Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
॥
मराठी मूळ
फळकट तो संसार । येथें सार भगवंत ॥1॥
ऐसें जागवितों मना । सरसें जनासहित ॥ध्रु.॥
अवघें निरसूनि काम । घ्यावें नाम विठोबाचें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे देवाविण । केला सीण तो मिथ्या ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
This worldly life is barren; the essence here is the Lord alone. This is what I tell my mind and the people alongside. Set aside all other concerns and take the name of Vithoba. Says Tuka, any effort made without God is utterly in vain.
