Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha
मराठी मूळ
पढीयंतें मागा पांडुरंगापाशीं । मज दुर्बळासी काय पीडा ॥1॥
या चि साटीं दुराविला संवसार । वाढे हे अपार माया तृष्णा ॥ध्रु.॥
कांहीं करितां कोठें नव्हें समाधान । विचारितां पुण्य तें चि पाप ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे आतां निश्चळ चि भलें । तुज आठविलें पांडुरंगा ॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Ask everything of Panduranga; why should a weakling like me suffer? For this very reason I turned away from worldly life, where greed and attachment only grow. No matter what one does, there is no peace anywhere; examine it closely, and merit itself turns into sin. Says Tuka, now it is best to remain steadfast, O Panduranga; I have remembered You.
