Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
रिकामें तूं नको मना । राहों क्षणक्षणा ही ॥1॥
वेळोवेळां पारायण । नारायण हें करीं ॥ध्रु.॥
भ्रमणांच्या मोडीं वाटा। न भरें फाटा आडरानें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे माझ्या जीवें । हें चि घ्यावें धणीवरी ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
O mind, do not remain idle even for a single moment. Again and again, recite the name of Narayana. Break off the paths of wandering; do not stray into the wild thickets. Says Tuka, my soul desires nothing else; take this Name until you are fully satisfied.
