Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
असा जी सोंवळें । आहां तैसे चि निराळे ॥1॥
आह्मीं नयों तुमच्या वाटा । काय लटिका चि ताठा ॥ध्रु.॥
चिंतन चि पुरे । काय सलगी सवें धुरे ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे देवा । नका नावडे ते सेवा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Remain pure, O Lord; stay apart as You are. I shall not tread upon Your path; why this empty stubbornness? Contemplation alone is enough; why demand the closeness of familiar company? Says Tuka, O God, do not render a service that is unwelcome to You.
