Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
आह्मी पाहा कैसीं एकतkव जालों । राखणे लागलों वासनेसी ॥1॥
तुह्मांविण कांहीं नावडावें जीवा । केला तो चि देवा केला पण ॥ध्रु.॥
वर्म नेणों परि वृत्ती भंगों नेदुं । वंदिलें चि वंदूं आवडीनें ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे कळे नामाचें जीवन । वारता ही भिन्न नेणों आतां ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
See how I have become one in essence, standing guard over my longing. My soul will not love anything apart from You; this is the vow I have made, O Lord. I may not know the secret, but I will not let my devotion break; what I have worshipped, I will continue to worship with love. Says Tuka, I know that the Name is the very water of life; I will entertain no thought separate from it now.
